The most wonderful time of the year is upon us again! With the holidays coming up, it’s hard to resist spreading the joy to others – maybe even towards a furry little cat companion.
Cat adoption is a momentous occasion for your family, and certainly fitting with the theme of the festive season. Unfortunately, the process isn’t always as easy as you might think! To help ensure a smooth transition for you and your new feline friend, here are some ways you can create a happy, forever home:
· There’s no place like home: Building a sanctuary will make your new furry friend much more comfortable settling into a new environment. For instance, adding two litter boxes, some food, water, toys and a resting place will make their experience a lot more enjoyable.
· Think tidy: It’s important to keep your cat’s litter boxes well-maintained. This leaves your cat feeling extra clean, and encourages them to continually use it. New Arm & Hammer™ Clump & Seal™ Complete Odour Sealing Cat Litter is specially formulated for a 7-day odour free home. No other litter forms a tight seal around litter and destroys it with unique odour eliminators and Arm & Hammer™ Baking Soda. Your cat will also love the new softer feel! It’s available in two varieties: Fresh Home and Multi-Cat.
· Your new best friend: Well, what are you waiting for? Spend a few hours a day with your cat (especially during the beginning) to give a little bit of reassurance. It may take some time for your cat to warm up to you, but it’ll all be worth it!
· Meeting family: If you already have the fortune of owning a pet, make sure both parties meet with calm and ease. It’s best to let the new one explore your house early on without any interference from others. Your cat will eventually adapt to the scents of others around – and who knows – make another furry friend.
With all the seasonal joy around this time of year, how will you share the holiday spirit with your new companion?

This one has a cute and adorable nose…I have a cat…such wonderful company!
AWWWW thanks! He is our kitty! And he is as sweet as he is cute.
I have 3 cats that I adopted from a shelter, and they’re my babies. Spoiled and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I wish I could adopt more… I do donate whenever I can though!
We just went shopping for the cats this past weekend. A local pet supply store was having a sale where they were donating a percentage of sales to a shelter so we did our Christmas shopping for the cats early. Of course they’ve already received some of their presents.
awww cute! I bet they love their gifts!
my daughter adopted a cat. we cant have them here my youngest is extremely allergic to them.
I am not much of a cat person but the SPCA is slowly turning me into one. Still not sure if I could own one. These are great tips. I cat sit for a couple of neighbours and always make sure the cat litter is cleaned up each day.
Now, if I could get another dog… 🙂
Oh my goodness what a cute kitty!! 😉 LOL

The funny thing I was OOOOOOO so cute!!! And hubby was like let me see! And he says “that’s just our cat” hahahahaha
Great tips! We don’t have a pet yet but hope to get a cat one day!
