Introducing a second cat: how long does it take?

EN

We have a calm 6-year-old cat and are thinking of adopting another adult cat. How long does the introduction usually take, and what should we prepare?

Plan for several weeks. Separate rooms at first, separate litter boxes and food, scent swapping, then short visual meetings. Do not rush.

Ask the shelter how the new cat behaves with other cats. A calm match matters more than age.

We are still preparing. Thank you for the realistic timeline.
