Advice on reintroducing lost, now found, cat back into our home...

I’ll try to condense it down. We had 3 cats. 2 moggy sisters and a Siamese. The sisters are 6 and the Siamese is 9. We moved house last October and one of the sisters got out and went missing.

After a lot of searching for the first few months with no luck she miraculously turned up a few streets away today. I went and collected her and brought her home, over the moon.

Now although she has a hefty appetite she doesn’t look bad at all, she is quite a fluffy cat and seems groomed, teeth are all in check and there’s no visible problems. I’m presuming maybe someone found her and had been looking after her but we never got her micro-chipped so there was no way for anyone to know who’s she was. We did put dozens of posters up when she first when missing but had no contact from anyone.

Is there anything I should be doing at home to try and make her reintroduction as easy as possible? She’s been really affectionate with me and my partner and is very placid anyway but has been occasionally hissing at the other two cats and hiding. However they seem chilled out and the Siamese is even attempting to groom her and cuddle with her but she wants none of it. I plan on going out tomorrow and getting some worm/flea treatment, a new litter tray just for her and new cat bed for her to claim.

Can anyone suggest something which we can do to make her feel more at ease or will it all come in time? She never had a chance to get used to this new house as well as she went missing a week after we moved in.
