So I adopted two siblings kittens at 7 weeks. One is a female named Sparkles (she is space gray) the other is a male named Tiger (he is gray and black). They are now 3 months old and today on my way to a pizza store with my boyfriend I found a stray male kitten 2 months old. It is bright orange and white and I named him Ginger and from the looks at it he hasn't been on the streets for long. He wasn't dirty and he wasn't skinny. He was healthy and I brought him home. Gave him a bath and introduced him to Sparkles and Tiger. Now Tiger gets along great with the new kitten, but my female dislikes him. She hisses at him, growls at him, and he does nothing but lay there. Why is she doing this?

She wants to be the dominant one. Give her a blanket with his scent. She will get used to him as she is young herself.
How long will it take?
Everything should be fine in a month or two. They are all young enough -luckily - to sort out the pecking order on their own.
They may not become best friends, but they will be family and establish a relationship. Expect some hissing and growling. Try to stay calm when they aren't. It helps them calm down.
