Macey arrived as a shy kitten a couple months ago, and with the help of treats and chin scratches, she has really come out of her shell. She is very cute, showing off her charm by asking for pets. Macey stands out with her beautiful tortie fur, but she does love to blend in when cuddling with other kittens. More pictures to come! ++++++++++++++++++++ Settling In: Embracing the Rule of Threes Transitioning to a new environment is quite a journey for a cat. To assist with this, we like to remember the Rule of Threes, a timeline to help you gauge your new cat's acclimation: • 3 Days: Time to unwind and begin to understand their new surroundings. Feeling safe. • 3 Weeks: Familiarization with their new home and daily routines. Knowing their home means they’re easier to get back home if lost. • 3 Months: Full integration into the family, truly feeling at home, personality comes alive. They blossom! Remember, patience is key! Behavioral changes are part of the process. For more insights on acclimation, head to our FAQ section at https://www.feralaffairs.org/faq/. Our Promise for Every Cat and Kitten: Before coming home with you, each cat is: • Spayed/neutered to promote their health and wellbeing. • Vaccinated, including rabies & FVRCP, to protect against diseases. • Microchipped for an added security blanket - to reunite you when picked up and scanned. • Screened for FIV & FeLV, ensuring they start off healthy. • Treated to remain parasite-free, because comfort matters. • Given any additional veterinary care needed for ongoing health issues. • Sent home with a full medical history to hand to your vet’s office.
