I would fall in love with the kitties at the shelter and probably get upset that I couldn't have them. Plus...all the shelters around here only give a cat 30 days to be adopted before they euthanize them because of overpopulation right now. I couldn't deal with playing with a kitty only to go the next day and find out they were put down. That would highly upset me.

At least the rescue group that took my cats keeps them in foster care until they can find a suitabe home for them (they are really picky, so they really look into who they are giving the cats to). Lilly is a spoiled only kitty now (she found a home). Whiskers is still in foster care, but his foster mommy is thinking about keeping him forever.
