In my opinion you'd do just as well adopting just about ANY friendly and healthy kitten from a shelter. There are SO many cats in shelters it's kind of silly to go to a breeder. Even if you're looking for very specific characteristics you can usually find them in shelter cats. It's a lot easier to find a cat to fit into your home in a shelter than it is a dog, so I honestly don't get the interest in buying from a breeder.
Then again I currently have 7 kittens and their mom (all of which get along with my dogs btw)I brought here on a whim (they were outside in the heat so I took them home) and I know it's nearly useless finding cats permanent homes. Black cats especially have trouble finding homes. If you go to a shelter and play with some kittens I don't see how you can't help falling in love with one. They will be just as friendly and malleable as the kittens you'd get from a breeder.
You may even be able to find someone like me that has kittens that are already used to dogs and well socialized with people and other cats.
