I now have to be patient and not rush them meeting my own 5 cats and end up stressing them all out more than necessary.

I think you might be very surprised how quickly they would accept the others, MC's are mostly very sociable..... our first one was an adult & had never seen a dog but she came in we let her out of the basket & by that evening she was curled up with them both,was also warned that she didn't accept other cats & that is why they needed to rehome as she was an ex breeeding queen well she went on to accept five others & was the nan & mentor.....
It is a shame about the owner being allergic strange thing is most people who are allergic to cats are fine with MC's because of their coat texture,the son of my friend opposite could barely walk past a cat without having trouble but lived with three MC's, this is all tying in more & more with the other being sress related,they are such sociable animals & to be shut out of the way of mum would freak them out so it is great that they can now be loved again as they deserve......xxx
