Alfalfa is a handsome, confident little character with plenty to say and no hesitation about saying it. He’s affectionate, curious, and loves being involved in whatever you’re doing—especially if food is part of the plan. Meals are a highlight of his day, and he approaches them with enthusiasm… and a bit of splash, as he’s a delightfully messy drinker.

He’s social and friendly with other cats and has shown himself to be thoughtful and cautious when meeting dogs, taking things at his own pace before deciding everyone is acceptable company. Alfalfa is talkative, funny, and full of personality, the kind of cat who will keep you entertained without even trying.

If you’re looking for a confident, affectionate companion with charm to spare and a sense of humor built right in, Alfalfa is your guy.

Bringing Your New Kitty Home: What to Expect
Thank you for adopting and giving this kitty a second chance! Here’s what you need to know for a smooth transition:
🛏 Start Small
Set your cat up in one quiet room with a litter box, food, water, and a hiding spot (like a covered bed or cardboard box). Let them explore slowly and on their terms.
⏳ Give Time
Even the friendliest cats may be shy at first. Expect 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to settle in, and up to 3 months to fully adjust. Be patient—they're learning to trust!
It’s normal for cats to hide for the first 24–72 hours.
Adult cats, especially, may take even longer to feel safe. As long as they’re eating, drinking, and using the litter box, hiding is okay!
🍽 Feed & Hydrate
Keep food and water dishes in a quiet, accessible spot. Follow any diet info provided. Monitor eating, drinking, and litter box habits the first few days.
🚽 Litter Box Basics
Show them where the box is right away. Keep it clean and use unscented, clumping litter unless otherwise noted.
🐱 Interactions
Let your cat come to you. Avoid loud noises or too much handling early on. Use gentle voices and slow blinks to build trust.
🐕 Introducing to Other Pets?
Slow and steady wins the race! Keep your new kitty separated at first and take your time with introductions.
🧸 Playtime & Enrichment
Interactive toys, scratching posts, and window views help relieve stress and build confidence.
