In the shelter’s words

Meet PEDEY and MADDIE!This bonded pair was born outside and came to us through our Community Cats program. Because of this, they've had very little human interaction and will need a slow transition into your home. To help them acclimate to her new home we have some recommendations. WHAT TO EXPECT*Hiding: while they are acclimating to their new home, we highly recommend confinement to a cage for a short period of time. This way they can learn about their new surroundings but still feel secure in the crate. This will also eliminate the worry of “losing them” in your home — kittens will find anywhere to hide! Don't have a crate? No worries...We can lend you one until you no longer need it.*Transition: moving to a new environment can be scary, and potential backslide in behavior is to be expected. If they purred here at the shelter, they will purr again in your home but it may take some time. Be patient while they learn the new sounds, and smells of your home.*Hands-On Work at Home: It is important to work with your new kittens multiple times a day. Find wet food that your kitty loves and pet them while they are eating. If petting is too scary, feed them by hand first, so they quickly learn that hands are not a scary thing. Pairing yummy food with handling is the quickest way to teach an under-socialized kitten that petting is a good thing and it can really get that purr engine running!Additionally, if you have another cat at home who is cat-friendly, they can help insecure kittens feel more comfortable and less overwhelmed while your new tiny tiger adjusts to life in their new home. Pedey and Maddie are currently up to date on all vaccines, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and has been seen by our veterinarian.
