Story

Hello fellow cat lovers! Reuben was a single litter cat late fall last year. His mama abandoned him and we were asked if we could take care of him. Bottle fed and raised indoor through the winter with loads of love and attention! Our goal was to slowly expose him to the world outside this spring and transition him outdoors with our other farm cats. This has proven to be a challenge. Reu does not like to be outside for more than a couple minutes and gets extremely anxious and hyperventilates. Unfortunately, our home is not big enough for multiple cats indoors and we are unable to release him outdoors. He is sweet, playful, and cuddly at the end of the day. He would love another human who could play with him and snuggle at night. He’s neutered and box trained. Loves his cat tree and toys! Bird watching from windows and catnip are his favorites! We would be so grateful to find Reu a home where he can grow up and be loved for years to come! ❤️

FAQs

Is it OK to adopt one kitten? ›

Kitten Companionship

Kittens are curious and crave constant stimulation. When bored, a single kitten will find potentially troublesome ways to entertain himself – like chewing on plants, climbing drapes and furniture, unrolling toilet paper, or exploring electrical cords and sockets.

How many weeks does it take to adopt a cat? ›

At 12 weeks of age, kittens are ready to move into a new home. You can also adopt a middle-aged cat that is younger than 10 years.

Is it better to adopt one or two cats? ›

For this reason, cats often do well when adopted in pairs. In addition, studies have shown that families who adopt two kittens from the same litter are far more likely to keep those cats in their home long-term than families adopting a single kitten.

How do I adopt the right kitten? ›

Another thing to look for is that a coat that's clean and shiny and ears that are free of dirt. Healthy kittens won't be sneezing, squinting or appear to have cold-like symptoms. Also, be on the lookout for excessive scratching or licking, as that may be a sign of fleas or other parasites.

What is the best age to get a kitten? ›

And though kittens can be fully weaned by 8 weeks, there are big benefits to giving them up to 12 weeks with their mamas, Dr. Kornreich says. That's because kittens enter another socialization period around about 9 weeks of age, lasting until about week 16.

Is it OK to leave a kitten alone during the day? ›

Leaving a kitten home alone for too long can cause anxiety, stress, and loneliness. Kittens need to be fed more frequently than adult cats do, and they require playtime and socialization. A good rule of thumb is that a kitten under six months of age should not be left alone for more than three to four hours per day.

What is the 3-3-3 rule for kittens? ›

3 days, 3 Weeks, and 3 Months. Bringing home a furry new family member can be one of the best days ever! But transitioning to a new home is often one of the most stressful times in an animal's life. To help make this transition as smooth as possible, it can help to break it down to 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months.

What age should kittens be vaccinated? ›

Immunizations are started at 6-8 weeks of age and are repeated every 3-4 weeks until the kitten is 4 months old. The routine or core vaccinations will protect your kitten from the most common diseases: feline distemper (panleukopenia), feline viral rhinotracheitis (feline herpes virus 1), calicivirus, and rabies.

Is it better to get a kitten or a cat? ›

An adult cat can be more patient with young kids, and best of all, knows when to walk away from interactions that are too much for either of them. If you work, an adult cat is much better content by itself while you are out. A young kitten will get lonely if left at home alone all day.

What is tarzan syndrome? ›

Most cats with Tarzan Syndrome are aggressive toward other cats. They will defend themselves from the cat you are trying to introduce because they never learned to interact with their own species. They instinctively tell the new cat to back off or else!

Do cats prefer open or closed litter boxes? ›

In this study, no overall preference was seen for covered versus uncovered litter boxes. When individual cats were assessed, 70% showed absolutely no preference (i.e. used both boxes equally), 15% used the covered litter box more significantly, while 15% used the uncovered more than the covered. Pretty even results.

Do cats prefer to be alone or with another cat? ›

Multi cat households. Cats are naturally solitary animals and are often happy without the company of their own species. They are territorial animals who don't like conflict with other cats. Introducing a new cat to an existing cat in the household takes time and patience – but don't worry, we have advice for this!

How do you pick a cuddly kitten? ›

To find out for yourself how the kitten reacts, sit on the floor and hold out your arm to get their attention. You'll soon find out if the kitten is affectionate, whether or not they like their head rubbed or if they like to sit on your lap. Don't force anything.

How do you pick a friendliest kitten? ›

Your kitten's personality

Once you have found your litter, choose a kitten that seems happy and confident and that wants to meet and be cuddled by you keeping an eye out for aggressive or timid behaviour. If you've had pets before, you'll know they come with their own patterns of behaviour.

What is the best kitten to get? ›

Persian Cats

Known for their gentle, laid-back personalities, sweet faces and round eyes, Persian cats are affectionate, quiet, beautiful creatures of habit, making them the most popular breed among cat fanciers. Persian cats are not only the most popular breed of cats, they've also been around the longest.

Is it okay to just have one kitten? ›

Adopting a lone kitten can lead to what is commonly referred to as single kitten syndrome; a solo kitten is less likely to grow up as well-adjusted and happy as cats who grew up with another kitten. Kittens who are raised as only cats have an increased chance of developing various behavioral problems later in life.

Can I raise a single kitten? ›

A lack of feedback from littermates can have lasting effects into adulthood. Because this feedback on appropriate and inappropriate behaviors is so critical, the best way to prevent Single Kitten “Syndrome” behaviors is to adopt two kittens, whether litter mates or kittens of similar age.

Should kittens always be adopted in pairs? ›

Despite the common belief that cats are solitary animals, they're actually incredibly social beings who thrive when they have feline friends from an early age. That's why I always recommend adopting two kittens, or adopting a solo kitten only if you already have another young cat in the home for the kitten to befriend.

Will one kitten get lonely? ›

Because of the attachments they form, the answer is yes; cats can feel lonely! While each kitty has a unique personality and needs, the following signs could indicate a lonely cat: Destructive behavior. Loss or increase in appetite.
