Notes on Familiars:
Grounding yourself is key.
Practice good psychic hygiene.
You can ground your familiars.
You can strengthen the connection by looking at the relationship cord between you and your familiar. You can fill it with gold light. You can put gold suns of neutral energy into that relationship cord. You can also ground that relationship cord.
I suggest getting a book on Familiars to begin learning the process. Take the time to select a good book that resonates with your needs. Many books are even specific to your particular breed of familiar (Such as cats). In general, you can begin by bonding with your animal. Treat it well with good care. Allow it to visit you and have your lovey time. You can gaze into your pets eyes' if they consent (it is suggested to do so for at least 40 seconds at a time).
Here are some books I have read and enjoyed:
Animal Magick: The Art of Recognizing and Working with Familiars
Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small
If you have astral familiars some of them may in fact be beings like unicorns, dragons or even more. There are additional resources here.
For some specific beings and their otherkin there are specific groups:

And finally, some people grow very attached to house plants and garden plants. Here is a group on gardening. I have heard of people who consider some house plants to be very similar to familiars or friends.
