Well guys, I finally found a suitable kitty, adopted her today. I went to the local PetSmart where they have adoptions every Saturday. People fostering homeless animals bring them in to display them for people looking to adopt.
Anyways, she's a real sweetie, her foster parent had already named her Lucy, so I kept that name, because she already responds to it. She likes to be picked up and loves her tummy to be rubbed; she apparently just got all her shots and was spayed, so her belly's shaved. Her foster owner said she lived with her, three dogs, and three kids, so I thought she'd be a good match. Didn't make my allergies irritated either.
Lucy's foster owner brought her to my house for a home visit, they met my dog and said she'd probably get along fine with him after they got used to each other.
So anyways, I've got my kitty now...my dog barked at her for awhile, I tried the door-to-door thing, but Lucy ended up just running off to sit on the couch. After my dog calmed down I let him out, he rushed over to the cat and she swiped and spat at him. He backed off after that, and now she just has to open her mouth very slightly and give a little hiss, and he runs away. He knows to keep his distance now, but he's still trying to 'make friends' with Lucy so he's been following her around at a distance, just wagging his tail.
Lucy's hiding under my bed right now, a little nervous, but I think she'll do ok once the dog gets bored of sniffing at the crack (he can't fit.)
Thank you, everyone, SO much for all the help you've given me. It's really appreciated.
Pic related; it's her hiding under a desk in my house. Her eyes look oddly yellow in this pic, but they're green.
