Adopting a 6 year old cat

Hello cat owners 👋

I have just found out that I am getting a 6 year old boy cat who needs re homed due to his current owners moving to a home where pets are not allowed. I am so delighted to get him! He is just gorgeous in the photo I got. Although I have wanted to get a cat for a while, I know nothing about owning and caring for a cat!

And my biggest concern is that I also already have a dog - a 12 year old bichon frise boy so I am wondering how to introduce them to each other and a bit worried about how they will coexist.

The info I have so far is that he is a short haired ginger and is castrated. He is coming with his litter tray and feeding bowls along with some toys. He is an outside cat (don’t really understand what that means for cats) and is also trained to behave in a home. I don’t have a cat flap.

Any advice would be gratefully received!

thanks 🐈

You need to always keep the tray because if the weather is bad they’ll just wee in the house.

Its the dog who needs work though if he’s not cat friendly.
