About Settled Cat Notes

Practical preparation for a new cat: secure space, gradual introductions, choice and veterinary care without a fixed settling deadline.

A new home can be stressful, but stress does not rule out illness. Contact a veterinarian promptly if your cat eats less or stops eating, vomits repeatedly, has diarrhea, seems unwell, or changes litter habits. Trouble breathing or repeated straining with little or no urine needs immediate veterinary help. Do not wait for a checklist day or a settling-in deadline.
