Default looking for a kitten

We're looking for a kitten to adopt. We live on 2 1/2 wooded acres and recently mice seem to be popping up everywhere, so we're thinking if we get a cat, hopefully that will help to take care of them. They got into the motorhome and made a mess (cleaned that up), got into the ventilation system of my jeep (the entire fan was a happy little nest). Then today I move the parts truck to the garage and there's a furry little F*^&er sitting on the damn wiper blade like he was laughing at me.

So if someone has some kittens or knows someone that has kittens that need a good home, let me know. We went to the humane society and they want $100 for a kitten!

BTW, we got a cat the other day, and as soon as my wife opened the garage door it bolted and has yet to be seen so we're looking for a kitten so it will "grow attached" to us.

Go with the Rat Terrier. They are great dogs, don't get very big (its why they can get the rodents) and have one helluva personality. Really funny dogs that can "mouse" as good if not better than any cat.

Not free, but Bengal Cats are freaking awesome. Best personalities of any cat, ever.

Wow that sucks, the one I went to was is Kent. Maybe worth the drive? Or maybe the 100 is extra cost for getting services done? I dunno, I didnt actually go thru with it.

I have a friend with 2 kittens that are 6-8 weeks old and they are looking for someone to adopt one or both. They are grey and white and one is male the other female(I think). PM me if you are interested and I'll give you the name and # of the family who has them.

Well we found a couple that we picked up tonight, thanks for the help guys.

The 2 we picked up are a little younger than we were really wanting (5 weeks) but no biggie. So here is Oreo and Reese's

Try Mark 'wahusker' he seems to have plenty of cats crapping in his flowerbed that i'm sure he'd be more than happy to donate.

For a fun time take some tape and put it on 1 or 2 paws. Fun fun fun

A have a few people here in Oregon that need to give their kittens away (free). But, seeing as this is in Oregon and you are in Washington I don't think it I can be of much help locally.

Awwwwwwwwww.....de so cute!!!

You banish them to the outdoors and I will hunt you down

Don't forget the spray bottle to keep them off the cars starting asap. If you don't you *will* find scratch marks on the top and hood. Kitties do not like the evil spray bottle!

(put Z6 in it - kill two birds with one stone)

Damn, too bad, as i have a wonderfull cat that just showed up one day. the name is black kitty. it's an indoor cat, but is banished to the out doors cause she fights with my other house cat and all other cats for that matter. Anyway, this is the best hunting cat i have ever seen. She has killed 3 big rats, so, so very many mice, moles, shrews, packrat mice and all the different kinds of birds you could imagine. She even tries to get the squirells, but they are to fast. She's a big, loving adorable, friendly cat that really wants a nice indoor or out door home. i let her sleep in the garage when freezing out. Free and healthy.

PM me - see what we can work out.
