We finally captured a wonderful 6 yr. old intact male black kitty in our neighborhood, a veteran of many fights that tested FIV positive. All shots and treatments have been given. It is now one week and BK has been in a small bathroom recovering from his alien abduction. He is eating well, very shy but responds most of the time to gentle petting, accepts treats and is using a litter box that we empty 4 times a day. We love him so much and want him to have a life inside with one other rescued female cat.
My question is, how soon should we move him to a bedroom separate from our other cat that has more room? We have read many introduction articles about going slow etc. and proper methods. We are still a little unclear about when we could enlarge his space.
I might add that BK has at least 4 neighbors who have been feeding him and can pet him. Two have even picked him up for short periods. He is such a beautiful sweet boy and we just want to make his new life as pleasant as possible.
