Wow! I adopted an adult cat and she stayed in hiding for two or three weeks. Now she can't get enough of us, but she'll teleport behind furniture at the first sign of a guest coming over.

I think his last house wasn't a very good environment so when he got to our place he warmed up very quickly.

Cats hiding in new environments is completely normal and expected behavior.
