Introducing Cats

Before taking on another cat it’s important to think carefully about whether it’s the right decision and how your existing cat or cats will feel about a new arrival.

If you are planning on taking on another cat then preparation is key and careful introductions are really important. The way cats are introduced to each other can make a difference to how happily they will live together. Don’t be tempted to rush the introductions, they should be gradual; the whole process may take a week to several months. For more information please download the RSPCA leaflet on Introducing Cats.
