Yes, ask the place you adopted from. When our cats came home, they were not trained and it took a few days-looong days. But they learned.
DO NOT put the litter near the food, kitties hate that.
If you live in a large home, you may need to put a box on each floor until kitty is older and has more control. Ditto about accessible and use the miracle stuff, over and over, it can take awhile.
Kitty is hiding poo cos kitty knows its to be hidden away.
