I'd just make sure you will have the time available that is required to properly take care of any pet you get. Pets are cute and fun, but it's tempting to take one in under unfavorable circumstances, which ultimately can result in them being neglected and living a miserable life.
I've known a few people that went gaga over a new pet, only to get it and neglect it shortly after the initial excitement had worn off. It's unfortunate to see, because pets are living things, and not toys to be thrown aside when the owner loses interest.
Pets are like kids, except that they don't have as many laws protecting them from neglect and mistreatment. Thus, it's important for caring owners to make sure they are truly able to accomodate one before taking one in. They are a serious commitment for many years, and are certainly worth the effort, providing you give them ample time and care.
