At the very least, I agree with everyone that says get an older cat. The Humane Society will match their personality to your family, they are quite often declawed, spayed, etc.
Plus they won't live as long, which obviously is a criteria for you.

I don't want an old cat, though. The best shot I have at making this work is getting a kitten, loving it, and then still loving it as it grows up into a cat. A full-grown cat will just gross me out right out of the gates. Plus I don't want a cat from the SPCA. They come with too much baggage (e.g. they were probably dropped off for a good reason in the first place) and I'd be concerned about all their exposure to diseases and stuff while in the SPCA.
