My cat is fierce. How can I introduce a new cat so they get along?

Question

Hi would like to ask how to introduce my cat to a new cat because recently I took in a stray cat because he has wounds all over him and decided to bring him home. But I put him in a separate room first. But my current cat is a female and is quite fierce and never been contact with other cats before. Would like to know what to do in order for both of them to get along? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Have the stray examined and treated by your veterinarian. Once he has recovered from his wounds, have him vaccinated and dewormed. Keep them separated during this time. Allow them to hear and smell one another through a closed door. Once they have acclimated to the sounds and smell of a new cat, allow them to see each other at a distance for ever increasing periods of time. Progress to placing the new cat in a closed carrier in the room with your cat until she acclimates. The use of pheromone products, such as Feliway spray or plug in diffuser, may decrease any anxiety or aggression.
