A Safe Room is a Sanctuary — Not a Prison
About this episode
Rachel Geller discusses the importance of creating a safe space for new cats to help them adjust to their new environment.
#303: Rachel Geller helps people understand their cats better with free advice through her personal nonprofit All Cats All the Time. She always recommends putting a new cat in one room in the house and only introducing him/her to the rest of the environment little by little. She often has to convince people that one space is not prison for a cat — it's doing them a favor by not overwhelming them.
