New kitten: How to introduce? Is FeLV testing crucial for safety?

Question

I just got another kitten, Storm, who is 2 months old. Approx. how long will it take for them to integrate and be friends or at least civil? Also he has not been tested for Feline leukemia, do I need to guarantee him? Skye tested negative. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 4 months and 6 days old | 9 lbs

Kittens can take weeks to get to know each other although some never settle down as friends. I would recommend keeping them isolated until fully vaccinated and also tested so as not to spread viral infections unknowingly
