Unfortunately it's impossible to predict a cat's reaction to a newbie, especially given that your cat shows a history of being hostile to newcomers.

If you feel that your potential adoptee will be able to be returned and re-homed then introducing him is well worth a try. You will need to be able to isolate the cats from each other for an extended period of time. You will need a lot of patience. And you will need an "out" in case all does not go well.

Check out this site for tips on making a peaceful introduction.

Feline Behavior

Best wishes. Let us know how it all turns out!

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!
