Active Phase Guide

Sample Checklist: Decompression (DAYS 1 - 3)

Recommended milestones to unlock progress

Select a quiet, low-traffic bedroom as your cat's basecamp.

Provide at least two cardboard boxes or hiding spots.

Keep food, fresh water, and litter boxes separated from each other.

Avoid direct eye contact or picking up the cat; let them decompress.

* Cat decompression cycles vary. The 3-3-3 timeline acts as a general behavioral baseline.
BEFORE YOU START

Before you bring your cat home

A few things to prepare.

Cat Setup Gear

Space & Security Prep

  • Dedicated quiet "basecamp" room (separate from family traffic)
  • Secure mesh screens installed on all open windows & balconies
  • Removal of toxic houseplants (e.g. lilies, aloe vera, ivy)
  • Hiding spots created (cardboard boxes, cat tunnels)

Adopter Knowledge Prep

  • Understanding "slow blinking" for trust building
  • Recognizing stress indicators (flattened ears, tail flicking)
  • Commitment to keep cat indoors only to ensure safety
  • Awareness of normal appetite shifts during transition

Material & Technical Setup

  • 1+1 litter box setup (one box per cat, plus one extra)
  • Separate stations for food and fresh water (instinctive preference)
  • Vertical scratching posts (sisal rope or sturdy cardboard)
  • High-quality grain-friendly food matching shelter diet
PERSONALITY TRACKS

Personality tracks

Your cat's personality determines their starting plan.

Plan Option 1

The Shy/Fearful Cat Path

Designed for shelter cats that hide, freeze, or avoid human presence. Focuses heavily on basecamp restriction, scent swaps, and gradual confidence building.

Mandatory Phases:

1

Stage 1: Basecamp Isolation (Days 1-7)

Keep inside one small quiet bedroom. Do not force interaction. Let them decompress.

2

Stage 2: Passive Presence (Days 8-14)

Sit in the room reading or working. Feed wet food nearby to build positive associations.

3

Stage 3: Scent Exchanging (Weeks 3-4)

Rub a clean towel on the cat and place it in the living room, and vice versa.

4

Stage 4: Controlled Access (Months 2-3)

Crack the door open with baby gates. Let them explore room-by-room slowly.
