Congrats on the new kitty! When I introduced the kittens, I kept them in a cage in the middle of the dining room. Both Allen and Pouncer came and sniffed them for a bit. After they got their initial hisses out of the way, I took them out of the cage and let them play on the floor. Allen and Pouncer ran to the edges of the room and watched them like hawks. Slowly they approached the kittens. You need to be there every second. If they start swatting, just make sure claws are retracted. Watch body language. The first face to face encounter is really short. Then I put them bakc in the cage, repeat a few hours later. Within a few days everyone was used to each other. I'm not saying everyone loved each other, but there wasn't anymore tense moments where the cats look like they were about to attack. A few weeks alter and they were happily grooming each other. Be prepared for a good amount of hissing and growling. Thats normal. If you could let her sleep on a blanket, then leave that blanket out for the other animals to smell, then thats a good way to intorduce her scent to the others before they even see her.

Has she ever met dogs before? The first MONTH or so of having Abby she and Nicki didn't meet. Not that I hid each other - Nicki is scared of cats (I know, she's a wimp! ) and Abby was TERRIFIED of Nicki. They stayed clear of each other. Eventually they realized the other wasn't so bad. If your dogs are calm and will leave her investigate the house without trying to chase her, then its logical to introduce the dogs at the same time.

One thing though, when you have multiple cats, it is recommended to have one litter box per cat plus one. So now you'll have two cats... that would be a suggested 3 litterboxes. You can have just two boxes if scoop daily, etc. But you might want to consider a third anyway. Its up to you to put them side by side in one room or in two different locations in the house. I have one in the bathroom, one in the bedroom, one in a closet, etc. You'd be amazed where you can stash a litterbox!
