So You Got a Kitten... Now What?
Congrats on adopting a tiny tornado of fluff and toe beans! Kittens are cute, chaotic, and not emotionally prepared for roommates - be they cat, dog, or Roomba.
First: Give Them TIME
Even bold kittens need space to adjust. You're new. The house smells weird. The ceiling fan is sus. Some kittens settle in fast, others take days. Patience is key.

Set Up a Safe Room
Start with a single room stocked with food, litter, toys, and hiding spots. This gives them a basecamp to get comfy - and lets other pets sniff under the door without drama.

"But my dog loves cats!"
Awesome. But your dog hasn't met this cat. Skip the face-to-face intros at first - no one likes being presented like a snack. Go slow to build trust, not trauma.

Use a Gate or Playpen
Once your kitten's confident, let pets see each other through a barrier. Watch reactions. Praise chill vibes. Toss treats like confetti. Slow and steady wins the nap pile.

Respect the fluff.
Go slow, and you'll earn a lifelong cuddle buddy with excellent zoomies.

*SbZ requests that adopted kitties be taken to your private veterinarian to be established right away as moving around can be stressful-even if it's a good stress- and can cause reactions in their immune systems.
*If you have dogs and other kitties, please be sure to follow a slow introduction period so they can learn about each other.
