Thanks so much for all your advice!! I would definitely consider an adult cat as long as it was used to being an indoors cat to begin with. The main reason I wanted kittens was because they would not know ay different. I'm quite shocked that you are dismissed straight away from a rescue centre for wanting to keep them mainly indoors when there are so many cats who want homes but I suppose they have their reasons. I had a look at the cat and rabbit centre at Sidlesham but I don't live in their re-homing area :-( You have all given me some great ideas, so thank you!! x
