I know what you're going through, something similar happened to me with Prince and Princess. The only reason I adopted them was that I wasn't able to sleep well at night knowing these poor innocent, sweet things were out there in the cold and with all the dangers. To be honest, I hope the kids won't take Buddha. All I can offer is a prayer for your financial situation and all the support we can give you on here, especially during the introductions... Wish I was there to help...
Cat is stalking me
I may be stuck with a third cat. My scumbag neighbors, the same one's who kicked Fay out of their house when their breeding attempt failed, have abandoned their house. It's looks like they've left a large cat named Buddha behind.
Three weekends ago they up and moved taking their 5 childeren 3 dogs and 2 purebred cats with them. Buddaha has been looking in my windows and wandering between our houses since.
Mr Scumbag neighbor has been back a few times. When I asked about the cat he didn't mention their departure and just said "yeah, I haven't seen him in a few days". That was the same thing he said about Fay after I told him she had moved in with me.
I left food out for Buddha twice in the last few days and now he's spending even more time looking in the windows. Last night when I was about to go to bed I looked out the picture window in back and he was on by back yard neighbors pool cage, 15 yards away and 15 feet up looking directly in my window. I think he knows where the good life is.
I'm really not up for another cat. Integrating him with the girls would be tough and the lifestyle I support for my cats is damned expensive but he's a sweet guy and I doubt a large mature cat would do well in a shelter so I'm pretty sure I'm stuck with him.
For now I'm gonna feed him outside and tonight I'll put out a box with blankets because it's going to be cold.
If I'm lucky Mr. Scumbags kids will want him to get their cat so I'm not going to bring Buddha inside and take the pressure off him for a while but I have the feeling I'm gonna become a 3 cat house.
Pics of a prior visit from Buddha a few months ago. yes I've washed the windows and cleared the deck since then.

The girls aren't happy having him show up in their territory. The itty bitty kity throws herself at the window in a mock attack when he shows up.

Poor guy. 
He probably knows he got left.

Buddha reminds me of BonJovi, (named by my then 5 year old granddaughter) who showed up about 15 years ago. He stayed under the porch and I fed him every day for about 8 years. In all that time, he never stayed in the bed/shelter I provided, (must have had a place in the woods), never let me touch him even though I put food in front of him, close enough to feel his whiskers.
Well, if you want to take him in at least the cats have been looking at one another.
He looks like a very pretty cat I'm so sad he got left behind! Who would leave a cat behind? Mr. Scumbag Neighbor needs a paw to the face!
I support you taking on Buddha! *giggles*

:? I HATEHATEHATE people like that. Makes me want to cry. My mom's dog came from a similar situation. A puppy mill owner was getting close to being shut down, so she up and left, leaving 15 toy breed dogs to fend for themselves in the garage. Among them was Lacy, a purebred Papillon. Well, a Pomeranian stud got to her and my aunt and grandmother were the ones to find the dogs locked in the garage. one full scale rescue mission later and my aunt adopted Lacy. My grandmother took in another Papillon (pregnant too). Lacy gave birth to four itty bitty pups, and my mom and I adopted Bear(fully grown at 4.5lbs due to prenatal neglect. ). When I moved out, we both decided Bear was better off staying with my mom and her adult Beagle, Lilly(Bear LOVES her some Lilly).
I hope Mr. Scumbag gets what is coming to him.
Good luck with the new family member(I have decided for you that he is yours.)
