Some adoption agencies will allow you a "trial run" of sorts... but if you do this, you are not going to be giving the animals enough time to truly get to know one another. It is really just an exercise in patience.

I am actually in the same situation, so I feel your worries. Now mine have been mad for the maximum of a few weeks, but it might be different for different cats. If you do decide to bring this other feline in, then you DON’T force them to be together, or to stay apart, unless they get aggressive. Just let them explore and eventually you’ll have a happy Family! I have 5 and 1 newer one, and they’re still warming up!

When you are introducing a new animal, pet your old cat and hold her alot, at least just at first, so that your cat will still feel loved.

If you are patient and slow to introduce a new cat into your home, your current cat just might accept the newcomer without trouble. I recently brought a new cat into my home, and my 3-year old cat was relatively accepting after we went through the slow introduction process.
There are many websites that go through the process - here’s the Reader’s Digest version. Place the new cat in a room of its own, with its own litter box, food, and water. Allow that cat to become acquainted with the new scents and sounds of its new home. After a few days, do a scent swap. Rub each cat down with a towel, then swap the towels. They will get acquainted with one another’s scent. After another few days, crack the door. Let them sniff, see, play footsie through the door. If that goes well, after a bit, allow the new cat to venture out. If it goes well, good! If not, separate them and try again.
It can be very easy if you just take the time to let both cats get comfortable!
