Be aware of what you are supporting with some animal "rescue" (so called) organizations. They may have clever word arrangements that spell CARE or things like that, but the bottom line is that their fuzzy "feel good" rules and regulations spell death for the animals waiting while they refuse to adopt out animals in their CARE while waiting for someone that fits their highly restrictive agenda. Sure, they may never put down any of the animals in their "CARE", but with their restrictive adoption policies a whole lot of animals are put down waiting in line that could be adopted. And you know what, some of them would end up in less than ideal homes, but compared to DEATH I think it would be preferable.
In a particular situation I am aware of personally I was willing to pay $100 for a kitten, but because I don't see the need for possibly dangerous inoculations for my other two INDOOR ONLY cats, I was rejected (I do believe strongly in rabies shots and neutering). The people running these scam organizations have my purest and deepest contempt. They do NOT deserve your support. If they really CAREd about animals they would not be playing ignorant, feel good, ego games while so many animals are being put down.
If someone is willing to pay $100 for a kitten I would seriously doubt that they planned to eat it or put it out on the street, but at least the next kitty waiting in line would have a CHANCE at life.
Some of these "rescue" groups are misrepresenting what they really are doing. Their pride and ignorance is inexcusable. Don't support them with your donations. Boycott pet supply stores that enable their stupidity and arrogance.

ps. I found an ad in the newspaper that just said Free Kittens and a phone number. Our new three month old, domestic born, kitty was free and was brought home right after he allowed me to carry him around for about five minutes without scratching me. I will call the vet tomorrow to have him checked out and stuff and then have the rest of his work done when he is old enough.
Here are the first two kitties
