Hmm,
From your first post:
We could build something like that if/when we tear down our garden... Install some sort of fan, like they have at the humane society. Now, I wouldn't want it to be out there 24/7, I'd bring it inside at night possibly, and during the day at times... and when it storms.
It sounds to me like you did plan to leave the kitty out of doors for most of the time and allowing him/her to come in at your convenience.

I don't mean to sound harsh but you did ask for opinions so here is mine.

I think it's a bad idea to rescue a cat from one cage, and house her in another.

It sounds to me like you made up your mind from the beginning anyway and anything we say will not sway your decision. I think you've talked yourself into it and there's nothing we can say to change your mind.

I hope that you will wait until a suitable time to adopt a kitty and you can give it the quality of life it deserves.

JMHO!
