Hi and welcome - hopefully you can get a hamster as soon as possible because they are just amazing personalities to come home to. And I see you have American shorthairs! Such a lovely breed, I myself have a british shorthair
One thing I will say though, is make sure that if you do get a hamster, the cats cant get to him haha. I've had to move my hamster cages several times after underestimating my cats ability to reach them!
