Adding a third cat to our house?

Question

My husband and I have two fixed adult male cats. Jabba is 9 and we've had him for 6 years and Solo is 5 and we've had him for 4 years.  We adopted both of them from the animal shelter.  When we got Jabba he warmed up to the house very quickly, within 5 minutes he acted as if he had been there for year.  He is extremely laid back.  When Solo came into the house he was a little shy at first, but the cats warmed up to each other quickly. Never had any issues, well now we are thinking about adding a 3rd cat to the house and I was hoping to get some advice. Should we go male or female? I was hoping for a kitten, but would that be a good idea? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!!!

It doesn't really matter if its a boy or girl but kitten is the best way to go. I would introduce them through a baby gate or a crate at first using lots of treats. After they seem to warm up to each other let them meet without a gate. Put the kitten in one room of the house for the first night and then the next day let him/her explore the rest of the house. (watch them like a hawk!!!!)

Jen, in case you undertake from a shelter, the kitten/cat ought to already be spayed/neutered and given the vaccinations suitable to their age. clutter won't value plenty greater in any respect. I even have 4 cats and it costs me approximately $50 in line with month for nutrients (I feed well being moist & dry). have confidence me, one greater cat wont make you or destroy you! good luck
