BARCS and all their satellite adoption sites (petco, etc) always have kittens! frequently their kittens are also in foster homes so you need to schedule a meeting. a kitten can also bond well with a cat close in age--don't discount a cat who's one or two years old, they've still got a ton of that kitten energy! BARCS is also overcrowded right now so they are waiving adoption fees through the weekend, and all of their animals are vetted and spayed before going up for adoption. it is admittedly harder this time of year--"kitten season" is in the spring-summer, and slows down as it gets colder.
