You have to PAY to give an animal a loving home? Christ! That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
What about a friend/colleague who has or knows someone who has a cat that just had kittens? Or check the local vets for ads : loving home required. Seems like there's always someone trying to find a home for kittens, and if there's anything cuter than a kitten, I don't want to know about it!
Plus, cats can be very helpful: look how the guys guard my sister's bed from unwelcome visitors (well they think it's theirs actually; they just kindly let her use it)...
Mind you, they do need to eat!
But sometimes they'll even watch each other while you're out...
