Looking for a kitten/young cat

Don't want to buy from a pet shop- would rather rescue or adopt. Have a large garden. Non-smoker :) Any help?

Cats Protection, Archway

http://www.northlondon.cats.org.uk/northlondon/contact-us

Adopted a 9yo male from there a couple of years ago, he's been adorable, a lovely housecat with a great personality. Everyone has opinions on charities (especially animals ones it seems) but I do think the work CP do is worth supporting.

In North London too there's no shortage of people buying new cats and losing them within three months so CP are always taking 'new stock'.

Well done for looking for a rescue cat. Yes I agree Cats Protection is good plus here are some others

If everyone got their dogs and cats neutered and microchipped, there wouldn't be so many animals stuck in rescue centres needing homes. It's very rewarding to give a rescue cat or dog a home.

Check our Twitter stream. Retweeted an offer of some cute looking cats about an hour ago.

Justin, I got mine from here and many friends have followed. They're all rescued from the edge, chipped, neutered and vaccine. Deanna runs this single handedly from the good of her heart; many ages and personalities and she'll let you try a cat out first. http://poorlypaws.org/index.html last count we have adopted around 15 between us and all are amazing.

I hadn't heard of Poorly Paws, that looks excellent.

If anyone out there is considering getting a dog or cat, please don't buy one as it encourages people to breed more animals for money. Buying an animal makes no sense when there are so many dogs and cats in rescue centres needing homes and so many animals have to be put down every day because rescue centres are inundated.
