Small cat in need of a good home anyone?

    Does anyone have, or happen to know someone that has a small
    cat that needs a good home?
    I have tried the local SPCA, but they only have adult cats, and this
    has to get used to be in the house.
    It won't happen unless it is a baby, or very young cat.
    We have had many cats in the past, and have experience with
    them, so, if you know anyone, please just give me a buzz.
    Thanks

    An adult cat can settle as a house cat just as easily as a kitten, all mine were adopted as adults and one of them had lived as an outdoor farmcat for the first 4 years of his life. Have a look at petsireland, there are one or two kittens there at the moment.

    If you can wait a couple of months the SPCAs will be swarming with kittens. But Arcadian's right, any cat will adjust to being indoors given time.

    Got a three month old kitten from a charity called Kitten Aid based in the Dublin region. They only deal with young cats and kittens and were absolutely brilliant when we contacted them looking for a pet. They also helped me home a kitten I rescued locally. I have the contact details for Jan the woman who runs them if you pm me. Just checked and the group are called the Kitten Adoption Service.
    Hope this helps,

    I did check Petsireland, and thought I might get the white kitten... :o
    But it was re-homed already, or at least, so it seems...
    Thanks for the advice, but, I'll still go with my experience ;)
    We'll still be on the l:eek:kout for a small cat.
    Thanks

    We have a 12 year old cat that lived outdoors for 11 years until we decided to switch her to mostly indoors recently, and she's fine. Cats are really adaptable.

    the white kitten oh petsireland is actually with me and I have found it a new home. It will be leaving in 2 weeks time.

    If you check out hyyp://.www.kittenadoption.ie or http://www.irishanimals.ie you should also ring Jan in kitten adoption she may not have all the cats up on her website
