You did it. 🎉

Tell us who you brought home so we can celebrate them (and count them — every adoption is a story we get to tell). Then here's your first-week checklist.

First-week checklist

Litter box + unscented clumping litter (one per cat, plus one) Food the shelter was feeding — switch slowly over 7–10 days Carrier, scratching post, a couple of wand toys A "safe room" for the first 3–7 days: quiet, litter, water, hiding spot Vet visit within 2 weeks; ask about microchip registration transfer Pet insurance: cheapest the day you adopt, before anything is "pre-existing"
