Problem: How to bring a new cat or kitten home
Purchase a sturdy pet carrier to take your cat home.
Your cat will understandably be nervous when you take it home, and a secure carrier can offer an enclosed space to offer comfort and keep your cat safe.
Some cats vomit or urinate while nervous, so a well-made carrier can protect your car's interior. OPTIONS:

- Identify a neighborhood that has cat parks. Schools and local parks are often frequented by cats of all ages.
- Buy a leash the cat can trust. While you may not be able to keep your cat safely inside your home, you can provide it with a leash to help prevent unwanted unwanted behaviors.
- You can also find a carrier that offers too much room so the cat can vent. Another option is to use a flip-top, lightweight carrier.
