Initial Acclimation

Working cats require an acclimation period of ~4 weeks. They must be confined to their shelter area during this time so that they understand it's home and where their meals are provided. Failure to acclimate a working cat to a new space will result in them running away as soon as released.

Consider the weather/temperatures during this time. While a garage may be suitable for sheltering from bad weather, cats will overheat if confined during the summer months. If your acclimation space is at risk of being too hot/cold during this time, you should postpone adoption until the weather is more suitable.
