Hi! Welcome to TCS.
Do you know what kind of a cat you are wanting?
If you have some preferences on what you are looking for in a cat ("Lover" or "Independant" or "energetic-playful")....this is the place to ask questions before you pick one! Or you can just take what you get...kinda like we do with kids! :-)

we're so happy to welcome you to TCS. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay with us - we're one great big family and you'll find loads of friends here. If I can help at all while you're finding your way around TCS just click on my username and send me a Personal Message - I'll do what I can to answer your questions
Reading up in advance is fantastic - you'll be well prepared for when you finally get your bundle of fluff
Hope you get a nice kitty. As for the kind, well, I never saw a cat I didn't like. Most cats are lovable and they don't necessarily have to be pretty.
Welcome to the Cat Site. You can learn a lot here and I know you will have a lot of fun.
