Hi there! It’s wonderful that you’re opening your home to an outdoor cat. Cats transitioning indoors can face various health and behavior challenges, so let’s make this journey as smooth as possible for both of you.
Firstly, it’s key to schedule a vet check-up. We need to ensure your new feline friend is healthy and free from diseases like feline leukemia or parasites like fleas and worms. We can also guide you on vaccinations if needed.
Behaviorally, some outdoor cats may feel stressed indoors initially. Create a quiet, safe space with a bed, litter box, and fresh water. Gradually introduce them to the rest of your home. Interactive play can help reduce anxiety and keep her entertained.
Watch for signs of distress that might suggest she’s struggling with the transition, such as hiding excessively, not eating, or showing signs of illness like coughing or diarrhea. If she exhibits any of these symptoms, or if you're concerned about anything else, contacting a vet promptly is best.
Finally, set up a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can provide personalized advice, discuss nutrition, and help address any questions you might have. Enjoy your time with your new furry family member; cats can bring so much joy into our lives!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
