Adapting to a New Environment: A Guide for Taking Care of Your New CatIsolation Period: First Two Weeks
1. Keep the cat in cage
- When the cat arrives in a new environment, it needs time to adapt.
- After entering your home, prepare **food, water, and litter** first. Then gently take the cat out of its carrier and place it in the cage.
- Cover the cage with a **towel or blanket** to block its view and reduce external stimuli.
- **First 3 Days**: Avoid disturbing the cat. Let it stay calm and adapt to the new sounds and smells around it.
- **Day 4**: You can uncover the cage and interact with the cat gently.
- **Gradual Freedom**: During the isolation period, slowly increase the time the cat spends outside the cage. After two weeks, you can allow the cat to roam freely.

2. Be Aware of Your Environment and Viruses
- **Preventing Virus Exposure:**
- Before the cat has completed its **three core vaccinations**, avoid visiting high-risk places such as:
- Pet stores
- Veterinary clinics
- Pet streets
- Cat cafés
- Minimize having guests over at your home to prevent potential exposure to viruses they may unknowingly carry on their clothing or hands.

3.Diet and Health
1. **Reduced Appetite:**
