Go ahead and change the name. My Sidney's shelter name was "Elmer". He just didn't seem like an Elmer to me so we gave him his new "forever" name of Sidney.

Also, there's no rush. Back in 1984, when I adopted a cat , I didn't even name her for a few weeks until I was certain that I had the right name. I named her Lucy, after the Peanut's character, because she had the same personality.


Enjoy your new kitty!!!!
