MARC JACOBS - FFPR

My story

Marc 4 mo old, came to us from a local shelter and loves to play. He will need another playful cat at home to keep him company or be adopted with his brother. Kittens are best adopted in pairs to help with Single Kitten Syndrome. It is not a good idea to adopt a kitten in a house with a senior cat. Older cats typically don't like to "baby sit". Here are great links to help you transition with your new Cat/kitten. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/bringing-home-your-new-kitten https://www.meowfoundation.com/resources/new-cat/ Please give your new kitten/cat time to acclimate to your home. It’s called the rule of 3/3/3. The first 3 days your new pet will be unsettled and scared, unsure of what’s going on. About 3 weeks your new pet will start to feel at home and more confident. Within 3 months your new pet will feel safe and secure that he/she has finally found a final forever home. Smooth Transitions A new cat/kitten should be isolated in one room (a bathroom is best so he/she can’t hide under a bed or couch) for 7-10 days. This also allows the cats to become familiar with the sounds and scents of the house. If you have other cat(s) and/or dogs this allows for proper introductions for each other before meeting, which tends to smooth out the first encounter considerably. Make sure you spend lots of quality time with your new cat/kitten during the isolation period so that he/she associates the new smells and sounds of the new cat with positive attention. Eventually, you may introduce the new cat within a carrier to the other cat and judge the response. When the introduction response becomes neutral or calmly interested, a barrier-free meeting may be in order. Trust your read on the mood between the cats. We feed our kittens/cats Kirkland brand cat/kitten food.. Make sure to transition onto the food you will be feeding slowly to help from getting loose stool, continued diarrhea can cause dehydration and can become a medical emergency. PLEASE TAKE THE STEPS NEEDED TO REGISTER YOUR PET’S MICROCHIP We are a 100% volunteer run organization. We are always looking for amazing volunteers.
