• Identification – This is one of the first things you should do when introducing a new kitty.  It is important to prevent any accidents by being able to easily identify your new pet.
• Toxic Materials – Protect your new pet
  by hiding bathroom cleaners, laundry detergents and cords, making sure that the
  plants in your home are non-toxic to cats, and keeping garbage can lids secure.
• Comfort – It’s common for cats to
  feel overwhelmed when they enter a new home. 
  Buy your new cat food, toys and a scratching post before they
  arrive.  This will help them feel
  comfortable right away.  You can also help
  the cat feel comfortable by sitting near where it is hiding and speaking
  gently.
• Kittens – If you are adopting a kitten,
  it’s highly recommended that you adopt more than one.  Kittens need constant stimulation.  A pair of kittens can keep each other
  occupied with playing and exploring together.
• Fighting – Play wrestling is normal
  and healthy for cats.  If the fighting
  becomes aggressive and involves hissing, then there is a problem.  End territory battles by providing each cat with their own space.
