Leave the lights on so he can acclimate and see they is no danger. Don't force him to go into the room or near the lights. If and when he does, praise and reward him. Consider a pheromone product such as the Adaptil collar or DAP plug in diffuser to decrease any anxiety.

Hi Kerry! I think it's best that Poppy stays at home and you have some come in daily. Going to cattery will only stress her out, she will be more comfortable staying at home, and you will enjoy your vacation better. Have a great time!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! First of all, thanks for what you are doing, that is very nice of you. I think it would be best if they are introduced slowly to the puppy meaning for short amounts of time to be increased daily until they are getting along well consistently. They should be supervised at the beginning when interacting with your cats or puppy. I think it would be a good idea to have toys and beds for both to make them feel more at home. Good luck!

If you will be inheriting her dogs I would recommend getting them used to them now. Slowly introduce them to each other outside the home and once they are doing well together I would then bring them to your house. I would bring them little by little and leave them for longer periods of time at your home. That way the transition is a little easier for everyone. I am so sorry about your significant other's grandmother. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Maybe a dog would be a better pet for you. Cats by nature can be standoffish, and while there are breeds that are extremely affectionate like Ragdolls, that would not be good for your allergies. I would think very carefully about getting another pet, and I say this gently. Given this would be #4, it's not fair to the animal to keep giving them away in search of finding an animal that meets all your needs. They are living creatures, and it's hard on an animal when it's taken away from it's home and moved to new circumstances. No one animal will be perfect, and when you take on the responsibility of an animal, it deserves love and respect as well as a stable home. Should you decide to get a dog, I'd recommend one like Poodle or a poodle mix like a Goldendoodle. Those are good for people with allergies. I hope this helps!
