kittens?

[bratling.livejournal.com]

does anyone have or know of a pregnant cat? my fiance and i are moving into a new place next month, where we can have cats! we'd like to adopt a pair of littermates.

(while there will be three people living in the house, with varying schedules, we can't be there *all* the time and we'd like two littermates so they can keep each other company when we're all out.)

we have a lead on a kitten, but not a guaranteed pair, so we're still searching. we are both cat people and miss living with cats!

thanks for any leads!


(speaking of this, we're moving from somerville to medford. we'll now be about a mile from davis square, instead of half a mile. i'm glad we'll still be close enough to walk on over. :-)

kittens are great and wonderful, but i feel the need to play devil's advocate and offer up two other possibilites:

*take one kitten and its momma from a shelter (it's not uncommon for momma cats to go unadopted for months)
*take a pair of older cats. you'd be surprised how many people give up their 2 year old cats if they have to move.

whatever course you take, good luck.

we've been discussing the options. we'd prefer a pair of kittens, as we think we're not up to dealing with a cat that has been emotionally abused in the past, and we have no way of knowing the true history of any adult in a shelter. about the best we can do there is see how it interacts with us -- as complete strangers to it, in a probably scary environment. not a very good way to judge. :-/ (i've lived with cats that had been abused in the past, and they were very challenging housemates.)

ideas and suggestions are, of course, welcome!
