Welcome to the forum! Hope all works out that you get your baby. A bathroom is fine for a safe room as long as you can put everything in there -- litter box, bed, food. You won't simply be leaving her there. Do your best to keep the two separated for at least a few days. You can go in there to play with her or bring her out, making sure your other kitty is not in that area. Swap out scents. Start by feeding them in the same general area together. Jackson Galaxy recommends a sight blocker, but that may not always be possible. Naturally, your best bet to introduce them face to face is to be holding your new arrival and allowing your other kitty to investigate. There will probably be hissing from your older kitty. Hissing is okay. You may find your other kitty is accepting of the new arrival within days. You can find topics on here where the introductions didn't go well in the beginning, but with time and patience, all worked out fine in the end. It may take a few weeks. Good luck!
