You might try Petfinder. IDK where you are, but if you’re north enough to have actual winter, any kittens you find in December will be on the old side for kittens. If you’re in a ‘warm year round’ area, kitten season lasts all year. I’m in the Puget Sound area, where winters are generally mild, but even here, kitten season is late March or so up through September/early October. (“kitten season” meaning when the queens are giving birth)
Local shelters/rescues would be my first choice of places to look; I echo the orbster who mentioned adult/elderly cats. Kittens get adopted quickly, even during the height of kitten season. Adults, especially special needs adults, can languish in a shelter for a long time. If you haven’t, read the “Shelter Cats Report” at the top of the BCN page. Have tissues handy.
Most of the national brands of cat food (Friskies, 9 Lives, Purina) are okay. If you want the best food for your new furbaby, I’d go with Royal Canin. That’s what TinyKittens uses if at all possible, especially for kittens and nursing mamas.
“a bit over capacity” — is there space for another litterbox and food plate? If so, you’re not over capacity. (says the guy who’d be “the crazy cat hippie” were he single)
Condolences on losing outdoor guy and congrats on new meezer kitten!!
