Delighted to see you have gone to Cats Aid - they do very good work and save many cats every year and do sterling work with neutering etc.
I hope you get sorted and that you get a loving feline companion.
If you do decide to adopt you are probably best getting a cat for the purpose of keeping rats away, as from my experience, kittens need to play and do consume a lot of your time. Also a rat could very well attack a small kitten thats just growing into a cat..
Bullworth I took a rescue cat that was about 3 months old. I had to get her neutered and get her injections. I think it all cost about 150 or so. Apart from keeping rats etc away, cats can be hilarous. She insists on playin chasing with me. Legging it down the garden and up a tree or into a bush, "hunting " toy mice in the house. I knock great craic out of her.
As a by the by you might consider investing in a scratching post in the house. Easily gotten at pet stores, and will save the furniture !
Another option if it suited is a small dog - jack russels can be particularly good hunters (especially where rats are concerned!).
I've removed one dead bird from the house half an hour ago, and they will chase anything that moves, including rats - I had the pleasure of removing one of those before, too!
neighbour is calling over tonight to take a look at her and take her home, hopefully!
I hope she gets a nice home too. It's heartbreaking but I guess thats mother nature for you.
