Best way to introduce multiple cats in a new house after moving?

Question

My 2 cats and I are moving into a new house with my fiance and his cat. It will be a completely new place for all 3 cats. Is there any advice you can give that can make the move and introducing a new cat easier for everyone involved?

The best thing you can do is make sure that each cat has their own private space. You may keep each cat confined to their own room with food, water, and litter box for the first couple of weeks. Once they are used to the new home, you can let one cat out so that they can start to smell each other through the door. After a couple of weeks, you can do supervised time together.
