I would never turn a cat over to someone taht was not committed to taking care of a Cat,that could be with him,for another Fifteen Years.
He would probably tire of the cost,and the responsibilty in time.
Your Cats will learn to love that Sweetheart in time.
My Cats are already warming up to Tubby2,soon he will be in the Cat Pile.

We did the "slow" introduction with Thumper. The rest of the gang all meet each other right away and got along super. Only reason for slow intro for Thumper is that we were new to introductions since it was only with RB Butterscotch. I'm no help on this subject of slow introductions.
Only advise I'd have is to separate especially when your gone during the day.

I agree that in time, things will most likely work themselves out. Like K&L, I have a houseload of cats, and have had very little territorial issues. When I do, I fuss at the guilty party, and separate them myself. Usually that is enough to suffice. Of course if things just do not settle down sometimes rehoming has to occur, but at least you will have more time to find a good home. Only you know what you are able to manage in your given situation, Lorraine, and we are all here for moral support as always!

Well, like the others said, she would adjust given time. It could be 2 days or 2 years. Or she could be another Minette who under no circumstances wanted to be around another cat. I swear if we even had her the remainder of her life, she'd have lived happily in one bedroom so long as it meant to never be nose to nose to another cat ever again. I never minded going into her room twice a day, and always felt comfortable knowing she got love because my daughter slept in there every night.

I truly worried what would have happened if Minette was still here while my daughter headed off to college. My main question to myself was whether or not I'd be able to give her enough one on one time AND then go into another room and give the same one on one time to the remainder of the cats. If you are comfortable with the idea that she might be isolated for an unkown amount of time.... which might possibly be forever, and you are willing to let her go as slow as she wants to go with the introductions, then you'll be fine.

Maybe you can bring Angelina home in the hopes to find her a home, a foster, and then if in the process she becomes accustomed to living with other cats - you could keep her.

Either way you'd be doing something good for the sweet girl.
