We've found a new friend for gizmo

After 2 months of looking for the perfect friend for Gizmo, we've found her. She is a Ragdoll x. We get to pick her up on Saturday, and we hope Gizmo likes her as much as we do.

Last weekend we gave gizmo a white tiger toy almost the same size as him. He hasn't stopped wrestling with it and he even sleeps snuggling it. I think he feels like he has a friend. I really hope he and the new kitten become close friends.
We have a separate room for the kitten to begin with, and have used one of gizmo's blankets in her bed. Someone else suggested rubbing our warm socks taken straight off our feet on both cats to make our scent the dominant one. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Trying to find a friend for Gizmo

We have been looking for a friend for Gizmo for the last 2 months, but trust us to wait until it is not kitten season to look. The vet suggested that if we wanted to find a friend for Gizmo, we should get one soon as he will adjust better while he is young.

When we went to Cat Protection Society in Sydney, they suggested a kitten the same age as Gizmo or younger. Unfortunately, the only kittens they had were sick with cat flu. We have looked on rescue sites for the past 2 months and when we have found a kitten that is right, they have always just been adopted.

Last weekend we went to see some more kittens that we had seen advertised on petrescue  they are adorable kittens, but we decided they just weren't right for us and Gizmo. There were four 12 week old kittens and one 6 month old. They were a little sleepy and shy when we first got there, but gradually they started to play a little. We had a great time meeting and talking to Kerry their foster carer as well (we have asked for Kerry's permission to advertise the kittens on our blog).

Here are some pictures of the kittens that are looking for their furever homes with links to their profiles.
