I adopted Ivy about two weeks ago from a local humane society. She is 11 months old and has spent most of her life at the shelter. Because of this, she was very very nervous about human contact. She is still a bit nervous, but she has really come out of her shell! She is a tiny little thing with a bushy tail.
There was a very traumatic incident on Monday where I *had* to get her back into her (enormous) cage because the apartment people were coming to work on the air conditioning unit. We have both mostly recovered from this incident, although one of us is still scratched and bruised. She never bites or scratches under normal circumstances, though.
I don't know that there's going to be anything frugal about having her. I'm pretty sure that she will eat better and have better medical care than me. ;)

She is very cute. Be careful not to fall into the multiple cat trap though. I started with one cat and she was fun so I got another...etc.
Now we have three cats and we feel a bit overwhelmed with the children too. They live such a long time when you take good care of them that it really is a big responsibility.
Just in case you hadn't thought about that already.
I like your blog btw.
Ivy is beautiful!!! Even if she is acting dopey. :-) I can't wait to meet her. I dunno---you said she is little but those paws... they look awfully big! I love her coloring. Have a good week.
Love Auntie T.
