What to Know Before Adopting a Stray Cat
Before adopting, be sure you can commit to the cat for life—time, money, and vet care included. Prepare litter box, food, and bowls; once it settles, get a full checkup, vaccines, and deworming. Don't bathe it right away, and keep toxic plants and chemicals away.

What does a normal neuter wound look like on a male cat?
A normal wound is close to the skin color, with no redness, inflammation, or discharge, and shows gradual healing. The wound is usually small and heals in about 7-10 days. During this time, use an Elizabethan collar to prevent licking.
What can scare a cat?
Cats are very sensitive and many simple things scare them. A sudden loud noise when relaxed, like a dog bark, thunder, or firecrackers, frightens them. Most cats fear water, so they are scared during baths. Facing a stronger enemy also scares them; if you often hit and scold it, it may be scared and even have a stress reaction.
