Lemme tell ya Cat Adoption Team is the way to go. We have gotten two kittens in the past and it beats the hell outta going that route. We are able to fill out a little "personality profile" and got matched with a cat that not only fits us well but has already been exposed to dogs and children.
We thought she'd spend the first week in the bathroom but she is already completely at home. I think she's napped on three different surfaces thus far and has been thinking about visiting the dog (who is locked behind a baby gate for the time being).
Name is Madison but thinking about changing it to Foxtail...because, well. Because of the bushy fox tail. ;p
She's not quite sure what to make of the small, loud human yet.
