Adopt a kitten: what I need to know

 


Besides being a lot of fun and fun, adopting a kitten is a big responsibility. Despite being an act of love, adoption – whether adults or puppies – needs to be well thought out and there are several issues you need to consider before making this decision.

 

Space, condition and time

First of all: do you have the three things above? When adopting a kitten, you will need a sanitary tray, food and water bowls, scratchers.

 

You will need to pay attention to your pet and be prepared for expenses such as vaccination and neutering, as well as emergency costs if he becomes ill. It is also necessary to screen the apartments and houses to prevent them from wandering around, especially puppies that are more curious.

 

What to look out for when adopting a kitten

In addition to seeing if the cat looks healthy, you need to look at where you are adopting. Make sure it's safe and that the cat doesn't carry disease – especially if you have another cat at home.

 

“Breeds have specific characteristics, but non-breeds are always adorable. Adopting is all good”, recalls veterinarian Bianca Couto, from The Cat From Ipanema clinic.

 

What if I have another cat at home?

If it is the case that you already have a cat (or more) at home - adult or puppy - it is necessary to keep them separate at first. In addition to a fight that can hurt the puppy, some of them can carry infectious diseases.

 

Do kittens adapt easier?

This is not necessarily true. Adult cats can adapt as easily as puppies.

 

However, the adaptation of puppies happens very quickly. So there's no need to worry about him missing his mother or similar things. “Adoption can take place soon after weaning, which should take place between 45 and 60 days after birth”, explains the doctor.

 Have you recently had a puppy at home or are thinking of adopting one? Then the first thing you should know is that puppies are separated from their mothers between the first 2 and 3 months of life, when they are weaned and when they start eating on their own. Although sometimes it is customary to separate them earlier, in the wrong way. It is somewhat natural that in the first days of separation, both from its mother and perhaps from its siblings and father, the puppy will be restless, insecure, anxious, etc. This is usually reflected in long nights of crying, moaning, and barking that will not let you rest, because nobody likes to see their puppy like this.
