With the increase of stray cats, shelters for stray cats have been built all over the world, and many good-hearted people will adopt them. So what should you pay attention to when adopting a stray cat? Today, let's talk about the matters needing attention when adopting stray cats. You must take notes!
It is recommended not to bring home a stray cat on the side of your road. Compassion at this time may cause you and your life after it a lot of unnecessary trouble. If you are really ready, find out if there is an adoption agency in the city where you live, then go to the consultation and go through the formalities.
Check your cat's coat and skin. Stray cats have alopecia areata in some places, accompanied by dander, odor, red spots, etc., so it is necessary to check whether they have skin diseases such as ringworm or fungus, and if so, consult a doctor. Then it's time to go to the hospital for a blood test. If the cat has no obvious symptoms such as trauma, the most important check is the blood routine. Through this inspection, it is possible to find out whether their physical condition is abnormal, whether they may have infectious diseases such as cat distemper or canine smallness.
Before you bring home a stray cat, go to the veterinarian for a full physical exam, then have a deworming, and then get vaccinated. Due to their complex living environment, three things are essential: physical examination, deworming and vaccination.
After the inspection, if there are no other pets in the house, we can let the cat move freely in the house. If there are other cats or pets in the house, it is best to isolate them first, and wait until they are familiar with each other before letting them out to play together.
After bringing them home, let them familiarize themselves with the environment for a while without disturbing them. They may hide under the sofa or under the bed all the time because they are insecure and afraid of the things around them. After a few days of familiarity with them, this fear will disappear.
Because cats have been wandering outside for a long time, they will be somewhat wild, like freedom, and dislike being controlled and restrained, and they are suspicious by nature, not easily trusting others, and even a little afraid of humans. So don't force them to do something, it will only make the cat panic even more.
When educating them, be sure to choose the right method. Stray cats are inherently suspicious and more or less naughty. If you educate them in the wrong way, it may split your relationship and cause cats to stop getting close to you. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right education method!
So when you want to adopt a cat, please learn more about the basic knowledge of cat raising and what preparations you need to do to adopt a stray cat. Be fully prepared before implementing your adoption plan, so that you are responsible for both your cat and yourself.
Cats are very sensitive. When you give them a warm home, please don't give them away easily. If a cat is abandoned twice, it will have a devastating impact on their lives. In addition to taking meticulous care of stray cats' physical aspects, adopters also need to take care of their psychological shadows.
For cats, the feeling of being abandoned cannot be eliminated in a day or two. Like humans, cats are also very emotional creatures. Abandoned stray cats are generally insecure. Although the staff of the rescue center have given them some treatment in a professional way, whether they can keep their mental health depends on whether the adopters care enough for them. If you are a novice cat breeder, for you, if you want to bring stray cats home, what you have to do is a big project.
