Congratulations on adding the cats to your family!!!! It's very important to ask questions about what kind of food, litter box and litter are they currently using. Try to use the same products. Also make sure to get a vaccine history and a thorough medical history (including Felv/FIV testing, deworming medication and any flea products that have been applied). That way you will be caught up on everything and can make arrangements to keep them on schedule with the preventive care if needed. Since the cats are already use to each other, it's likely they will get along fine in the new place.
