How can you help your new kitten to settle into your home?

Once home, place the cat carrier and the kitten in the room that has been chosen for the first night.  A small room would be less daunting to a disoriented kitten.

It is important to close any windows, doors that may be open because they might offer the frightened kitten an opportunity to escape.

The most important thing you can do is avoid exposing your kitten to everything and to everyone all at once.  Ideally, the kitten should be allowed to rest in the initial 24 hours.  It should be allowed to explore in one room that is secure from other animals.  It should be visited only by few persons at a time.
