We’re sure her adopters know how to manage cats but it’s a good opportunity to give advice to anyone who’s adopting! Especially with adult cats, but especially with ones that are nervous about changes, it would be a good idea for her adopters to prepare a room with a litterbox, food and water, and no hiding places that they can’t easily retrieve her from. For instance, a bed she can hide under is a bad idea since it can be difficult to coax her out. Even a large closet or bathroom is a fine choice if it’s what you’ve got. After she’s had a day to get used to it as “her space” then you can slowly invite her out to explore the rest of the house, returning to her space when she’s overwhelmed or when you won’t be around to keep an eye out. In due time you and she will become comfortable allowing her free access to the house.
When it comes to meeting new cats, you need to use your best judgement as to what makes a good introduction. Usually letting the cats see each other a few times from a distance, then slowly bringing them together over repeated play or treat sessions is a good idea. May B. was responding well to treat sessions with the faculty, though there’s still more to do. One of the important considerations is to separate the cats and reset before they have a chance to get into a scuffle! At the first sign of hissing or growling it’s usually a good time to call it off and try again later.
Then we have “Tessa,” aka “Void.” Her delivery didn’t result in any kittens, but she proved herself to be a wonderfully sweet cat, nearly a kitten herself - almost certainly less than a year old. She’s gone to DAWS to wait for an adopter. You will be able to find her on their site - we’ll update this post with a link when it’s available!
