Some of you may have seen my earlier post about dog adoption - change of plan. My finace and I are moving into a flat rather than a house with garden, so for the time being a dog is out of the question.

We have agreed a cat would be the best pet for us. I consider myself a dog person but cats are a close second. My partner is the other way around, and has some experience of living with cats and kittens (his old house mates).

As we will be in a first floor flat the cat or cats would be indoors only. This is something I have only just started looking into, but I am a complete convert - even if I wasn't in a flat I would think twice about letting the cat out alone.

The problem in the UK is that many rescues will not rehome to flats, or anyone without a cat flap. Indoor cats are taboo over here, expect the pedigrees from breeders.

The next problem is that we have decided on a kitten or two. While some rescues will rehome elderly or disabled cats as indoors, kittens seem to be out of the question.

So I have 2 questions:

1) Does anyone know of any cat rescues in the greater london area that will adopt kittens to part time workers (left a few hours three times a week) to indoor homes?

2) If not - how can I tell rehomings from sales on the free ads?

I've got no problem when it comes to dogs or small furries but cats are far more complicated. There are hundreds of adverts for kittens - some very cheap (under £20) some "free to a good home".
Obviously I don't want to give my money to someone who is breeding deliberately, or just lets their unneutered cat get knocked up every season. If anyone has anyone tips for weeding through I could use the help!

Thanks all
