Bringing a New Kitten into Your New Home While You’re Renovating

Sunday, October 30, 2016


If you’ve been following my journey you know that we bought a fixer upper and have had a few projects going on. Projects that would be messy for a new kitten to navigate. Here’s how we brought our new kitten into our new home.
 
Meet Sam. Very skeptical about his new home.
 

1.       Introduce your kitten to one room at a time.

We are keeping Sam in the guest bedroom since it will not be used often. This room is also not a priority for us to renovate at the moment so he can stay in here for a while before we truly need it.
 

2.       Keep rooms with projects off limits.

              If one space needs to be under renovation, then keep it off limits. The basement has lead tape on the fireplace and tools lying about that need to be stowed away. No place for the kitten yet, so the basement door stays closed.


3.       Pick up tools and debris in common areas.

In places that still need work, get the work done but then clean up thoroughly! We have painting, spackling, and electrical work going on in the living room and master bedroom which means tiny pieces get everywhere. I wipe up or vacuum after each project, even if I’m not done and just want to take a break.
 
 Slowly making his way out.
