I don't know what city you guys are in, but these guys are in Houston...which is east texas, if I'm correct.

They have lots of very cute kitties of various ages. I'd actually suggest getting an adult cat, so you know thier personality, but I'm a rescue pet getter lol. All my pets are rescue. They have 9 week old kittens too though, if you're dead set on a kitten.
