Hi everyone,
I am writing here with hope you guys can help me out with my dads cat that needs to be taken to a new home.
Unfortunately, my dad had a stroke few weeks ago and he’s hospitalized but the chances of him going back home to his cat are almost 0..
His cat is 10 years old and not very social.
Me and my gf are moving in together in 2 weeks and want to take the cat with us.
For the time being we visit her everyday but she’s always hiding somewhere, usually under a cupboard where it’s difficult to reach. She’s not coming out even with food offerings (but eats when we’re not around). My dad was the only person she knows and we now want to take care of her as best as possible.
She’s not aggressive but she can bite and scratch when uncomfortable.
I have a few questions,
First, how do we take her from my dads place to mine, considering she’s always hiding in difficult to reach places and might be scared and biting.
How do we make sure she feels safe in her new place assuming she will take a long time to feel comfortable with other people. We even have a whole room prepared for her.
How do we gain her trust and make sure she becomes more social..
Thank you
