a cat question

[mmegaera]

So. I think I'm ready. But I am dubious about going through the Humane Society again given my last experience. I'm also dubious about going through Craigslist, and Petfinder appears to only do shelters in my area. I think I want kittens again (if I do I want to get them directly from their mother, like I did Morgan and Linnet), but I'm not 100% sure. I might go for one a bit older. I would vastly prefer male(s). I have a hankering for tabbies (in any color but orange -- Linnet was my orange tabby for this lifetime), but that's not set in concrete.

I'm not sure where else to look. I'm more concerned about making sure I get healthy, non-neurotic cats than anything else.

Any suggestions?

Excellent advice here, seconded. My current Beneficent Feline Overladies (sisters) came from a fostering group. Unfortunately, my beloved late Snickers (see icon) came from a house where there were bratty kids and big dogs, so even though she loved me and liked emceeaich, she definitely was a head case at times.

Lady Bast, send a excellent kitty or two mmegaera's way.

How does one find local fostering groups? A websearch was not fruitful. I know about one because of their blog, but I'm not getting any response from them.
