Glad to hear you're getting it from the SPCA instead of a pet shop. My mother does animal rescues and adoptions, works with the animal shelters and Pet Smart, she must have 15 kittens right now. They all get spayed or neutered before adoption.

There are so many freaking cats out there it's mind-boggling. You could euthanize 1,000 of them per day and not make a dent in the population just in our county.

When my g/f and I went to Kentucky to visit her grandparents (on a farm in the hills in the eastern part of the state, out in BFE), we found that they had a rather brutal method for dealing with stray cats.. they'd put them in fertilizer bags and hang them from a tree, and leave them...

When you bring the little one home, be reminded that he/she will be frightened and will probably cry a lot in the first few days. Be understanding, and give it a tee-shirt with your smell on it to sleep with (or a clock that ticks, that can soothe as well).
