aww i want one too
How I did it: I went to the local pound by my parent's house. It took me forever to decided on a cat, but I fell in love and named her Daffodil. I had to come back the next day to pick her up and drive her all the way home, but seeing how happy she's been since I took her away from all of the cages and fuss is definitely worth it.
Lessons & tips: Where I got my cat, it was half the price to get one that had been at the pound for awhile. Not only did I pay less, but I also got a cat that needed a home who was already trained and taken care of medically.
