Advice First time cat owner

Post image

Hey guys, I just got a cat yesterday and it’s my first time owning a pet in general. When i brought it in my house yesterday, dude was a lil scared I think cuz of the environment and went under my couch a couple of times. So I moved him to my laundry room, just to get him in one small room so he wouldn’t escape or freak out.

This morning I checked in on him and he’s doing better and cuddling with me.

Just wanna say I’ll appreciate any advice as a first time cat owner

Which is a reminder, you’ll want to get him neutered by 5 months. Make an appointment soon. If money is an issue, look for county low-cost pet spay and neuter events, or check with your local humane society.

Friends of animals is another option. You may need it to be done at a vet other than your own, but neutering is a simple surgery.
