Hi everyone, I am getting ready to bring home a 5-month old kitten and am worried about the first night, and the first few days. He had a persistent "cat cold" which is viral, and associated dental issues (juvenile gingivitis) and eye infections, so the rescue want him to be "the only child". He may experience flare ups of the virus due to stress, such as moving. Currently he is in a cage (not a room) at the rescue, so I guess he's used to sleeping alone (though there are cats around him). He is the sweetest little angel. I can adopt him Thursday evening (6-7pm) but perhaps Friday noon would be better, so that he has more daytime at home before the night. I read that a "sanctuary room" would be ideal, but I want to be around him, not just close him in a room. I have a small house. It has 2 storeys, but the spare bedrooms are small 8x8ft and 8x9 ft, so I don't really spend time in them. I spend most of my time downstairs - but there's no doors there anywhere, so I could not keep him contained there with me. I also don't know where to put the litter boxes, I need one on each floor. I can put one box in the spare bedroom and I'll have to figure out something for the downstairs, as there is no good space anywhere (small house!). Maybe in one of those ventilated furniture-like cabinet enclosures? I don't know. Maybe I don't have enough space for a cat after all! I think the litter boxes placement is important. And where to keep him for the first night or few nights, and during the day. This shouldn't be this hard but it is. Looking at what I just wrote makes me think that maybe this is not a good decision. I don't really believe in having just one cat, especially this young, and I don't even have space for 1 cat (well I have space for the cat, just not the litter boxes on every floor). What to do?
