I was so touched to read what you wrote. I wish there were a lot more people like you and your husband in the world!
I think it is a big thing to start taking care of so many animals at the same house, and you may find it difficult to introdue all of them together. What I suggest you is to do the introduction slowly, and don't let them all hang around free at the same areas.
* Place your cats and dogs in a saparate room and the new tenants in a different room. At first, they need to get used to the smell of one another, so switch their food bowls and even toys.
* Then, place your pets in the room where the new tenants stay and the new tenants in your pet's room. That will help them adjust each other's smell.
* Then, when you and your husband are at home, place all cats together, but not all at once, so a fight won't start, and see how they react to one anothe. Don't leave them all in the same room until you are sure they can get along and don't hurt one another.
I wish you good luck with everything, and I don't think I will ever forget your story. I will be very happy if you will keep us all updated through this forum, and if you have any more questions, we are here for you!
