Need some opinions and advice

A friend called today wanting to give me a black and white male tuxedo cat that is less than a year old. (The friend knows about how I lost Max in July). Anyway the cat has been neutered and had rabies shot. That is all. He has not been tested for anything else or vaccinated for anything else. I have two cats, Speedboat (9) and Muffin (6 yrs.). They are neutered and vaccinated for Feline Leukemia annually and also FVRCP annually. They live outside all the time in a fence enclosure. My question is what would the new cat need to be tested for before exposing my two cats to him. I feel like because it is a young cat, there would not be dominance issues between them. Please voice opinions and advice.
Thanks

I would think because they've been vacinated, they'll be OK. But you'd want to vaccinate the new guy anyway, and keep them seperate for a proper introduction period.

Felv and Fiv tests before it comes in ... felv vaccine is controversial and my vet advised against it , but that was since no cats can come in my yard and only dogs live on each side.. get the new kid vaccinated with what I know as a 3 , 4 or 5 in one..

And what is a 3, 4 or 5 in one??
I live out in the country and there are lots of animals around, coons, possums, foxes, etc.. That is why I get my cats vaccinated. Also what is the FELV and FIV test??

Fiv If I remember right is the feline aids ... felv is luekemia( I dont promise anything is spelled right )...

I think Zoey got a 5 in 1 shot its abbr is FVCRP ... it has the kitty distemper and some other stuff

Thanks for the input
