Hi
I hope, you can cope with another cat person, who will ask you questions. I found this forum, when I was looking for local rehoming centres, because we were looking for two more kittens. My best friend (who is also my next door neighbour) got a kitten each (sisters) last May. I got Freya, who is grey/white and my friend got Mary, who is tabby/white and longhaired. They are 9 month old now. We love them very much and we live in a perfect place for cats, on a converted farm with no traffic. It is absolutely safe for our girls. We decided, that we would give two more kittens a good home. I found a pair (brother and sister) at a local cat shelter. They are both longhaired, black with white paws and bib. We will be away over Christmas, so we will pick them up on the 2nd January. I can't wait. They are soo cute.
I've already seen a few threads about introducing new cats but I don't quite know, how relevant that is, when the cats are so young. Will it be easier? Please help me out and give us some pointers, what to do/expect.
I'll try now to upload some pics of our resident cats. I haven't got photos of the new babies yet but they will follow soon.

Good morning Linda and :welcome: to Purrs
As for introductions I find kittens much easier than older cats, your existing cats will not feel so threatened by kittens. They may not be too happy to start with but just take it slowly and it should be fine. Best to let your cats sniff at the kittens while they are still in the carrier for a few minutes - it worked well for me. Then just take it slowly.
Good luck
