Don't overthink it. Adopt a cutie that you "connect" with. Then it's just water, food, litter box.

You'll figure out a schedule/plan for away times.

I went to look at my local shelter and I started to ask the desk staff questions about this sort of thing and he basically just responded the same way you did.

Yep. House cat = very low maintenance.

Also, they can be aloof for long time. My gal didn't sit on my lap for a year.
