Yes, definitely. Taking care of a neglected pet can be overwhelming, but it is important to take small steps to gradually transition your pet into better care. Firstly, give your pet lots of affection and slowly introduce new feeding and exercise schedules so it can start regaining its health. Incorporate a balanced diet rich in proteins, fats and vitamins. Get regular veterinary checkups for medical assistance in case any underlying issues have developed due to neglect. Make sure the environment meets its need for enrichment, socialization and security as well. Finally, give yourself time and be consistent - pets don't forgive nor forget when it comes to inconsistent attention or neglectful moments! Good luck!

If you are considering taking on a pet, make sure you’re able to provide the necessary care and attention it needs. For pets that have been neglected, it’s important to start with basic care – get their diet and living environment back on track, slowly increasing the intensity and frequency of interactions. Spend quality time with your pet each day, letting them adjust to your presence while providing affection in an even tone of voice. With consistently positive reinforcement and patience, you can help your pet learn new behaviors while helping them feel safe and included.  Overall, allow for incremental progress as needed in order to provide a loving home for your new companion
