I am a first time cat owner. My little guy is a neutered male about 9 months old that came from a local shelter. He has been with me for 3 months and is perfect in every way.

I have been considering getting him a playmate. I have found one that I like but I am concerned about the "horror" stories I read about cat introduction. My current cat is very outgoing and rules the roost. The possible second cat seems to be very loving but a little shy.

The person I am dealing with at the shelter has suggested that I bring my cat for a visit. Is this a good idea?

Thank you for your thoughts.

Hi, first of all, welcome to TCS!
Congratulations on your new addition to your family!
You may not want to bring your new little one into your home just for a visit as the introduction process should take place more slowly. I would recommend that you read this article and this thread . Please keep us updated how the introductions are going.
