Helping Your Cat Adjust

To help ease the transition, create a safe and comforting space for your cat in the new house. Introducing familiar items, such as their favorite toys and bedding, can help. Gradually introduce them to the new environment and provide plenty of attention and reassurance.

For additional safety and enrichment during this transition, consider using the Roamready™ Cat's Harness, Leash & Tracker. This helps them explore safely while you keep track of their location.
