    Why don't you try a rescue shelter?

    Where in Dublin are you? We got our 2 in the Drogheda Animal Shelter - DAR. They are a bit older, but they have loads of kittens there, always looking for a home. The other good thing about getting them from a shelter, is that the shelter will almost always pay for your kitten to be neutered, if they're not already neutered when you get them.That's a decent sized vet's bill that you wouldn't have to pay.

    Plus you get the feel-good factor from rescuing a kitten! The only warning I'll give you is that you may come away with more than one kitten - they're all so cute!

    Most shelters have websites with their contact details and their opening hours, so have a look around the net. I know there's a lot around Dublin, it's worth a look.

    1) go to a rescue shelter, yes, there's a small fee. I assume that, as an animal lover, you aren't trying to avoid that so, yay, head on up to the shelter.
    2) does it have to be a kitten? consider an older cat, there are lots of advantages.
    Think this through as an adult. You're not a kid now.

    yes i considered an older cat but i am afraid that because of it's age that it would not settle in and i would want to put an animal through it if they didn't want it, my friend was the one who told me this as she had an awful time trying to get her cat settled in and the poor thing was terrified :(
