Will a cat remember its old home?
Cats can remember their old owners. Cats that’s were reliant on you for their needs such as food, water, and social interaction will remember you. Painful experiences and fear also remain in a cat’s longterm memory. A cat’s memory can last for months to several years.
Will my cat remember me after deployment?
You don’t have to worry about that. Your cat will remember you after 2 weeks or even after 1 year. They use scent to recognize you, not exactly their memory. If we are close to our feline pets, it can be worrisome to think they’ll forget us if we are away for a few months, or even years.
Do cats care if they are rehomed?
Yes, cats do remember their previous owners. We’ve seen cats respond with absolute glee when their previous owners come to visit. They can remember their owners and respond with love and affection for months and even years after being rehomed and if they haven’t seen their previous owners in all that time.
When to adopt a cat from a shelter?
Give her time to adjust. Your cat may have been happy & relaxed in the shelter or their foster home, but since then, they may have been examined by a vet, put in a cat carrier, taken a car trip, and now are in a total alien universe filled with strange sights, sounds and smells. Every cat is different, just like every home is different.
How old was the cat when he was adopted?
I know a family (with kids and dogs) had previously tried to adopt him but he was too scared with them and they gave up after a week. I think he was born and lived on the street until around a year old, but was hand-fed by a man who came by to take care of the family of cats.
How long does it take a new cat to adjust to a new home?

When is it safe to let my new cat out?
It can take a day, 5 days, a couple of weeks or more for your new cat to relax. 2 weeks is an average adjustment time for most cats.

Can a half blind cat be adopted as an adult?
A couple of years ago, though, I was put in the position to take in an old cat: a skinny, gray, half-blind, outdoor cat whose owner had died. Having fed Prince Albert for several months next door while his human mama was ill in the hospital, I had developed a bond with him.
