Sent you a PM and will offer all the help I can as I know how unbelievably tricky it can be. I got my little one from the RSPCA after weeks of searching and trying alsorts. He's wormed, vaccinated, microchipped and I will get the voucher for him neutered when he's old enough. I can't drive either but went over on a bus and the lady who was looking after him very kindly brought me home. But they will really try and work with you and help so much. They tried to work to the best of my circumstance and really so badly need homes for kittens :)

Lots of previous links about this but here's a few of the local ones

RSPCA Sheffield
The Cats Shelter
Sheffield Hallam Cats Protection
North Sheffield Cats Protection
Thornberry Animal Sanctuary

There are some local private shelters too but I can't remember them, sorry - they've been mentioned in previous threads though

she does look sweet doesn't she! I'm glad that you are considering a slightly older cat (not a kitten) as they are so often overlooked. We went down to the pound a few weeks ago and there was a gorgeous tabby in there that had been dumped in september:( and it still hadn't found a home. Luckily she is sorted now! Good luck when you ring up and I hope you do get her, they all deserve a loving home!:)

Older cats are usually better with youngsters as they are less likely to get spiky and scratch a toddler who tries to manhandle them. A kitten has often not yet learned how to behave around children and some rescues are reluctant to rehome kittens to families with very young cchildren because of this
