I lost my orange boy in January and I'm still waiting for the cat distribution system to re-engage.
It took about 11 years for us to be assigned our new owner, err cat.
Our shelters practically gave away our kittens when we got them. It was July, less than 20 bucks for a furball with all its shots and a snip
The problem with shelters is that I would feel compelled to adopt 15 kitties instead of a sensible 2.
My solution to that has been fostering! I technically only have a sensible 2, but there's currently a total of 7 under my roof, and a few more on the way.
Don't give me ideas. I want to buy a motor coach, live at the beach and foster kittens out of there. Fostering kittens wasn't part of the fantasy until you and my wife will have someone who isn't me to blame is gonna be nice I gotta admit. I was just gonna busk and sell wood out of the little wagon I pull behind my ebike that has my kittens in it (the wagon has kittens, not wood, but I sell the wood from there I could do better at explaining this) but like now I got so many kittens in this fantasy I don't know if I have time to busk.
Check your city's subreddit. People occasionally post found/foster cats for adoption.
Facebook groups are the chosen platform where I live
