Help!!! My kittens are scared!!!

i had experience that also, i have a kittens (4 kittens ) adopted. they are all scared when i brought them home, i remember i do care to them by, hugging them, and i always put them with me in bed. They are always beside me especially at night. they says that the kittens will know that your their mother if you are hands-on on them. Always put them a blanket.and if you want to introduce them with your dog, do it slowly. Is your dog nice to other animals?if it does, then do it slowly, so that your dog will make known that little kittens of you. Hope you will do a great job, goodluck!

Place them in your bathroom for the first week. Cats are used and feel safest in small spaces. A house is too big for them to "handle " after being in a cage. Make sure there is food, water, litter and toys in there. Sit down on the floor with a book and simply read for a little bit every day and let them get used to you. Pick them up and cuddle them. Often times people make the mistake of overwhelming kitties and that sets the tone. Start small and then increase the amount of space they have in increments.

We just rescued an abandoned kitten from a litter of 4. My neighbor adopted his brother. All you can do is give them time and support. I had 2 other cats brfore the kitten and it took them about a week to adjust to the kitten being here. The best thing you can do is make shure they know where there food is and where the litter is. In time they will gain some courage and decide to come out of hiding.

Well - I got two kittens from a shelter once, and for the first 3 months they only ever came out at night! In the day time, they just hid in a corner, and would only play and look around their new home, when it was very qiet and no one else was home. So the best advice I can give you, is just put plenty of food and water down, give them a convenient litter tray, and leave them alone to find their way around and get used to their new surroundings in their own time. I have 5 cats now, and have always kept cats. They are very independant creatures - they generally like to come to you, they hate being picked up, and they need plenty of time to get used to new territories. Over time, when they come to trust you, and associate you with food and warmth, they will start to be friendly, - but it will take time because they are young, plunged into a completely new environment, and terribly scared. If you can, - put them in a room of their own for a while (a spare bedroom perhaps), so they can get used to one room a a time. Because there are two of them, they will have company and be able to cuddle up together, and that will help them. Good luck.

put the babies in a bathroom with thier food, water and litter pan go in every 20 - 30 min's, close the door behind you and just sit there on the floor - take a book for about 10- 15 minutes per sit down and just let them come to you - they will - might take a few trips or even a day or two - cats are most curious lil things - but very smart - once the figure out your not going to hurt them, food comes from you, and your hands are not objects to be frightened of - they have been in a shelter - can you imagine the noise levels to a kitten's sensative ears??? They've been removed from what they determined a safe space - and transported and now just need to learn that this space is safe and you love them - by the way LOVE LOVE the names

Let them walk around your home quite a bit. As they notice that you are always around they wont mind your presence. Some cats are just like that. Some will literally jump at you the second they meet you but in your case you really will just need to give them time. You can check how warm the are to you by simply sitting from them at a distance they are comfortable at and holding your hand to the floor.

They are obviously petrified, everything is so new to them..Maybe just leave them alone, just make sure that they have water and food..They will soon know that you will not hurt them..It may take a day or so, or just a few hours, Good Luck with them and congratulations for saving two lives...

The kittens will respond to soft voice and contact so try talking to them and when they gain confidence hold them in your lap, I did that with my pup when he was scared the first day he came to my house.
