*Note Stressful situations, such as a new home, may illicit temporary signs of illness in the Cat which may include sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, or diarrhea /constipation. To reduce stress, especially the first few days in his or her new adoptive home, feed the Cat the same food as the Breeder has been using and offer bottled water. Introduce family members and other pets slowly for short periods at one time over several days or even weeks. Remember that the Cat may be frightened and does not understand what is happening to him or her. Keeping the kitty in a quiet spot with a little nest for a few days (see below) will give the Cat time to assimilate to his or her new life. Confine the cat in a small area such as a bathroom or laundry room to ensure proper use of the litter box. It is recommended that the Cat remain quarantined for 14 days without contact with other cats to allow any possible incubating illness to present.
