@Badger, yeah, it would be great to be in a room and just see what cats/kittens come up to us. I want them to like us too.
@Becky, for sure regarding why folks return cats. Sometimes it's something like the child has allergies or they're moving and cannot have pets, etc. The folks at the no kill shelter are not shy about sharing why cats have been returned, etc. I feel that they legitimately want to find forever homes for these cats and will work with you.
I think we're leaning toward the range of 6-14 month age range, and littermates if possible. We are open though, and I would like at least one of them to be black.
