    Font - So my sister is currently fostering these two lovely babies. They love each other and are comfortable together since they are litter mates. I currently already have a 2 y/o cat who has lived around another cat before. I also live in a 825 sqft one bedroom apartment. Without question, i will be adopting the siamese looking boy, but the tabby has no home, and i just feel so bad- shes so sweet. Im worried my apartment wouldnt be big enough for 3 cats, and also the time it will take my curren

    Font - 4 days ago Coming here from a small space - we recently planned to adopt a kitten and ended up with two, in addition to our three year old cat already at home. There was a two week period while we just had one kitten at home while the other was waiting for surgery and it was SO much harder than when the second kitten arrived. Now, the two kittens play together and give our older cat some (very much appreciated) space. I think he was overwhelmed by single kitten energy and likes being able

    Font - green_eyed_cat +2.4 days ago Lived in a 982 sq ft home with 3 cats no issue. Biggest thing is making sure they have enough entertainment and safe spaces/cubbies so that they don't feel like they are right on top of each other. I think two kittens will also help your current cat because they will look to each other for play and companionship not just the older cat which could be overwhelming for them.

    Font - ExtentNormal411+2· 4 days ago First of all, I would die for that Siamese beauty. Second of all, you can maximize your space. They sell climby wall shelves on Amazon that they can run and hang on. They have cat hammocks as well that suction to the window. I have a big big boy and he lays in that hammock allIIII day! My only concern is the litter smell. I hate that dusty/chalky smell that even clean litter produces. It's worst in small spaces so I would think about that before deciding. 1-3

SecretaryOtherwise +3. 4 days ago If bonded don't separate, two kittens shouldn't be more trouble than 1 for your older settled cat imo. You'll be able to keep them in a room while the older one adjusts easier with little guilt since they're not alone as well.
