New very shy rescue kitten

Post by JJmeow »

Hi all

we adopted a 7 month old kitten about 3 weeks ago now. We knew he was very shy and wary of people, but hopeful that he will adapt to his new surroundings. He was from a colony, and his brothers have been adopted - one of them very succesfully.

He is in his own room, with a cat tree, and is a dream using a litter tray and eats really well.

He has been scratching at the door to be let out, but on the occasions he leaves the rooms, he immediately goes and hides under a bed. But largely he doesn't actually leave the room! He only seems to want to get out in the evening after dinner, or overnight / early morning. We'd rather have him explore surroundings before letting him loose overnight!

He's a sweet little things - plays with his toys/ string, but we are not allowed to go near him, unless he's in his tree. He's better than he was when he arrived with us, but we are worried if we let him out more, he won't come back!

We have an older (16 year old) cat who is disinterested in him (annoying as she moped when our other cat had to be put down!) who goes around as she pleases!
