I was wondering how long you should keep an adopted rescue cat indoors before allowing it to explore outside.

I've been told anything from 2 weeks to 3 months.

Thanks everyone. At the moment she's happy enough in the house. We've moved the bird feeder so she can watch the birds out of the window too. She hasn't given any indication yet that she wants to go out but we're obviously thinking ahead. With summer being on its way (hopefully).
