Hi Guys
As most of you have seen, we have adopted an ex stud cat, with the hope of him settling down as a pet and companion for Vito.
He is 14 months old and absolutely adorable with us. He has been in quarantine for coming up 1 week now and is being the model inmate
We have been allowing him to explore the rest of the house once a day when the other cats are all sleeping in another room. This so far has gone well, I also rotate the toys to get them all used to New scent. Franco seems quite happy and is taking it all in his stride, he's also bonding with me already, giving love bites, licking and head bunting me, and is always super excited when I go in to see him.
The other cats are aware that he is here and no-one is stressing or concerned & no-one has laid eyes on him yet.
Franco is to have his neutering operation on Monday morning and obviously will return to quarantine room when we bring him home. I'm aware that it will take some time for his hormones to settle down, whereupon we shall start the introductions, supervised and through glass doors to begin with.
I'm aware it can be a rocky road to rehabilitate an ex breeder, but I'm remaining optomistic .
I was wondering if any of you wonderful people can offer any advice, tips , methods etc that may prove useful. I really want this to work out and I've plenty time to devote.
One question I have is, How long after neutering Franco do you think I can start with the process of introductions ? All help would be much appreciated.
Have managed to take a few new pics of him below.
