How to prepare for new kittens and introduce them to my older cat?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | neutered | 3 years and 8 months old

I’m getting 2 new kittens next month. I already have a 3 year old cat I recently adopted. What can I do to prepare everyone for the kittens? What do I need to have prepared for when the kittens come? How do I introduce them to each other and what do I need to do once the kittens get here?

Those are some cute little kittens and cat. It's great that you are planning for the kitten's arrival. Below are links to two articles. One has great information about introducing kittens to a new place and other cats. The other is an article with good information about caring for kittens. https://www.petcoach.co/article/bringing-home-a-new-cat-or-kitten https://mobile.petcoach.co/amp/article/new-kitten-101 I hope that helps. If you have any further questions, then please feel free to ask.
