A couple other things to try during the two or more week separation (new cat isolated with food/water/litter/toys in her own room) is when you do introduce, you can have the new cat in a cat carrier so they can sniff each other safely first and you can see how they might get along. You can also occasionally close the old cat temporarily in a room and let the new cat have safe run of the house to get used to it from time to time (after the first few days in her own room). The towels is a very good idea. Rub both cats down with different towels and put the new cat's towel in the old cat's room and vice versa. Then they can safely sniff each other's smells. Two weeks or so may seem like a long time gradually introducing them, but once it is over, you will hopefully have harmony...
Bless you for adopting her and giving her a happy home!
