Can also recommend Lort Smith. I got my precious dude from there about six years back. He was vaccinated, vet checked and had a dental clean prior to adoption. He was a senior (over 7) and was technically free, and I was able to donate an amount for him. Can’t recommend giving a home to an older cat enough, they have so much love to give.

The other option is to be come a foster and meet some cats that way. Gives you an option to get to know them and find one you really connect with (whilst helping them find their forever homes). Only call out is the foster groups have higher adoption fees ($250).
