Rehoming a pair of cats- any advice?

We have been thinking about getting a cat/kitten for some time.
I would prefer to rehome a pair of (youngish) cats rather than kittens. I live with my four children -aged 10-16- and I have had cats before but not since having the children.
I’m usually out the house all day, kids back around 4 but they spend a few days after school with their father on alternate weeks. I currently rent, landlord has no issue with us getting cats or a dog. An issue would be installing a catflap but there is one solid door to a lean-to off the kitchen I could potentially put one in.
I have seen a pair of cats on the RSPCA website and just wanted to make sure I had thought of all possibilities before completing the application. Can anyone offer advice on rehoming a cat- insurance, cost of food etc, I would be very grateful. I am alone every other weekend and having some company would be wonderful- even a fickle cat Grin

Definitely get the best insurance you can, my pair of troublemakers ran up bills of £20k. They both had emergency treatment costing £5000 each.

Wow that’s a lot of money!
I will definitely look into pet insurance.
