I adopted Leonard at midday on Wednesday and after letting him out of the carrier, he immediately went under the bed after a quick scan of his room. He stayed under there for about 3 hours and slowly crawled out and walked over to me and has been very affectionate since then.

He was a stray, about 10 months old and didn't get to a shelter until 3 weeks ago. He's been vaccinated, desexed and microchipped before adopting, just need to get him a vaccine booster sometime soon. 

He was very cautious with checking out the rest of house on Thursday, he's getting more comfortable, but prefers to follow me into a room. Occasionally, he hides under the bed when I leave, but he gets out very quickly when I'm back. 

My sister came over yesterday and he was fine with her. Going to introduce him to my mum and her boyfriend one at a time, then slowly introduce him to my other cats (two sisters we adopted as kittens) at my mum's place. First, with scent swapping for a while, then seeing each other through a glass door and eating, then short meetings in the same room with either both or one at a time based off their reactions.

Adopted Leonard on Wednesday, it's Friday now and he's warmed up to me quite a lot and slowly getting more curious with the rest of the house
