But we can only do what we can do. In addition, I always remind myself that if this cat is not right for me to take, I hope it means the right person will come along. After all, if I take a cat who will not fit into my home, it means that the cat will be unhappy, and so will the person who <i>should</i> have gotten the cat, and now cannot find them.

I would have adopted an adult cat but wasn't sure how an adult cat would relate to my 7 year old male at home, but my heart melted due to the affectionate nature of the adult cats there. Many were reaching out from their cages. So I was in dilemma mode. The only kitten remaining, was alone, and the adult cats were alone, and I wished I could adopt more than one, but as you mention, wellbeing is important, as is space, and being able to give each cat a well deserved space for recreation, food and love. I don't have a problem with the love, but recreation space and finances tend to add more variables.
