Okay so quickly, my first ever cat was a surprise. We found her as an abandoned 10 day old kitten with pneumonia. In her 3 short years she's beat pneumonia, eye cancer (eye removed) and renal failure. She's a strong little tortie girl. Anyway in a recent trip to see family we noticed they had to new cats. We asked why two instead of one and they said that one is anxious and the other give it confidence. After the eye surgery a year a go my little Kali changed and just wasn't as confident as she used to be. Any sound on the side she's missing her eye she jumps. Also she has some odd behaviour from never being around fellow felines before. She is an awkward drinker. She's quite reclusive and she is just anxious so we were hoping once he settles and they become friends she'll find some reassurance in him.
anyway, I went to my local shelter Facebook page who put me in contact with a lady that had trapped some kittens at 8 weeks old and they were being raised around dogs ( I have 2). So that wasn't a problem. We fell in love with the 4 month old male tabby and adoped him and brought him home after all the paperwork was done today.
Anyway, I let him out in our room to look around and he hid straight away. We moved him into our spare room but he hasn't really come out much. I've left some food and water as well as a litter tray so he has everything he needs. Plus his blanket from his old house and a few toys too.
Any tips on making him feel a little more at home and safe. I'm keen on giving him lots of love. He's my first adoption (other than my rescue) and my first boy. It's been a while since Kali was so young so I'm kinda drawing a blank. I have different types of toys and am already going in there through the day and talking to him then leaving him be. But I want to see his sweet personality that his foster mum raved to me about.
