Cats > Moving to a New Home

Moving to a New Home

Moving into a new residence may be the most stressful event in anyone’s life. It is important that we prepare our pets prior to moving into a new home to minimize the anxiety and problems that can result.

Why do cats try to return to their old home?
Cats are very territorial and may have problems accepting a new house as their home. If the old house is nearby, cats may return to their old haunts and try to take up residence with the new people living there. If the move is further away, cats may just wander off in an attempt to return home and get lost.
