Adoption Tails: Beans

 Beans

1 day: Beans is settling in very well. He has been eating all of his food immediately and has been regularly drinking and using the litter tray. He explored the carrier, ensuite, wardrobe, and then the bedroom. He’s very friendly, loves scratches and “has the most beautiful purr”. His owners used a pom-pom to play with him in the evening. He started chatting to them in the afternoon. He’s still very cautious of random noises but will come up to his owners for attention. He’s already very inquisitive, and comfortable and has been interested in the rest of the house.

Confidently exploring the house

2 and 3 days: They’ve been actively stopping him from walking out of his safe room so he definitely wants to explore. He’s been sleeping in the ensuite and is happy to stay there overnight. Beans wanted to explore so they let him wander through the living room. He explored it with healthy caution and is now very comfortable walking through the apartment. Beans met two family members and he was happy to be pet and have a play.

Leash training begins

1.5 weeks: Beans has had issues scratching spots on his neck. He went to the vet and has to wear a scarf for a week. He was very well-behaved at the vet. He’s now being a very cheeky boy sneaking into the kitchen when he knows he’s not allowed. He tried sitting at the table this morning to get a share of breakfast. Beans was very lucky that his patch was too low on his neck for a cone, so he has to wear a scarf instead.

1 month: He’s settled in really well! He’s still always looking for food and scoffs down anything he’s given but is otherwise very comfortable in and around the home. He’s absolutely adorable and they’ve been having fun exploring and training. They’re working on leash walking so he can get a little bit of supervised outdoor time. He’s still a bit nervous around new noises but enjoyed walking in the apartment stairwell. Beans is currently having a sleepover with their in-
