(Welcome A Cat To Your Home | How long does it take to adapt?)
Bringing a new kitten to your home is not as simple as it sounds, especially if you have other pets as well. In fact, just like us humans, our pets can quickly get uncomfortable and stressed out in an unfamiliar place.
That's why it's vital to approach this matter in a sensitive way to avoid stressing out the new family member. In this video, we will give you tips and general guidelines on how you can do this safely and responsibly. But before we begin, make sure to like and subscribe.

1. Collect familiar scents
Cats secrete pheromones, which they use to communicate with other cats or interact with their surroundings. Although there is no way that we can detect these chemicals, you'll know when your cat is spreading it once they start rubbing their cheeks to anything. The more pheromones there are, the more familiar your cat will be with that particular place or person.
Hence, if you want to make your kitten comfortable while you're on your way to your home, you can bask yourself in cat pheromones. The best way to do this is by letting your kitten's mother and siblings rub themselves on you. It would be best if you do the same for the towels and toys you'll give your kitten. This way, your new kitten wouldn't miss their family that much and could even start familiarizing themselves with you.
2. Ride as smoothly as possible
Before you go back home, make sure that you have a carrier for your kitten. To encourage them to go inside the cat carrier, place the pheromone-filled towel in the carrier. If your kitten resists, do not force them, and simply open the cat carrier from the top so you could quickly put them inside.
Make sure that you drive as comfortably as possible to avoid stressing out your new kitten. Take a much more comfortable route, even if it would take more time if you can. It would even be better if someone else could drive for you so you can give your full attention to the little furball.
3. Do not overwhelm your kitten.
Once you arrive in your house, never let the kitten get out immediately, especially if you have other pets. Take the carrier and carry it gently to a room or an area where you can expect no disturbances such as loud noises or other people. Place food, water, and a litter box near your kitten's carrier and try to see if they will come out on their own.
If they show no signs of coming out, wait for at least 20 to 30 mins before trying again. If your kitten won't still come out, open the carrier from the top and gently take them out. Place them near the food and water you prepared so they can start familiarizing themselves with it. Here, you should be as patient as possible and just let your kitten explore on their own. If you think that they're already comfortable in that area, start to make your kitten explore the rest of the house.
4. Carefully introduce the new family member.
If there are no other pets around, you can easily do this step. All you really need to do is to prevent many people from petting your kitten all at once, as this could easily overwhelm the poor little guy.
However, if you have other pets, you have to be extremely careful in dealing with this matter. This is especially the case if your other pets show territorial tendencies. If you have to, keep your aggressive pets on a leash and let the two familiarize themselves with each other with your supervision. Watch out for any signs of aggression such as growling or behavioral changes and immediately remove the kitten before something terrible actually happens.
