Hey guys, thanks for all your suggestions so far.
I have contacted the RSPCA cattery in strood, and they have just had some kittens come in today but they are only 4 weeks old (bless!) so will have to wait before I can see them.
I have considered an older cat, but being quite young myself, I really want one that can grow with me, and maybe my family if I decide to start one in the next few years. I may decide to get another one to keep it company when it has grown up a bit.
I will definitely ask to be put on their waiting lists. Like I said I'm willing to wait for the right one because (unlike some other people) I know its a lifetime commitment and I want it to be a great match!
Will definitely put up some pictures as soon as I find her! Only thing I can't think of is a name, I'm hoping its like having a baby and I'll somehow know when I see her what her name is meant to be! lol.
Thanks again. Keep it comin' guys!
Emma
