DR Druxy, if you aren't ready for a new cat quite yet, you might consider waiting until after the holidays or until June. Very often we have found that the shelters adopt out cats like crazy before Christmas when lots of folks are wanting someone to cuddle with. But during kitten season, there are LOTS of kittens available, and adult cats don't get adopted because of too much kitten competition.
That's if you are planning on visiting a shelter. (Also, it's a good excuse to wait a while.)
