okay ive recently adopted a kitten an when i first got her she was a little shy. all you really have to do is get a food bowl and put it in a certain location untill the cat is familiar to where it is. some books suggest to put it in a room when its time for it to go to sleep so it knows where it's bed, food, water etc. when you first get it wont really want to be played with yet and it spends time exploring around the house. after a day or two the cat will get used to you and everything will be okay. washing the cat is a little more difficult though. if you really know that the place that you adopted the cat from washed it then you dont have to wash it until a week or so depending if its an outdoor cat.
if this really didnt help then im sorry but i hope it did =)

Well, it really depends on the age of the cat, its size, breed, etc. I suggest adopting (not buying, there are many homeless kitties out there) a kitten, or a sweet adult cat. When picking out the cat, ask for its history: the medical history, past ownership history (why they're putting up the cat for adoption), its age, breed, personality, etc. Make sure the cat is healthy: watch out for goopy eyes, noses and ears, any scabs, dullness of the coat, things like that. Ask whoever you are adopting from what they are feeding the cat, how much, how often. Buy a small supply of whatever that is, then schedule an appointment with a veterinarian so it can be examined to check for any problems. The vet should also suggest a proper diet for your new kitty, because whatever it was fed before may not be as good for it. The vet or any of the techs should answer any other questions you may have.
