And you'll get a lot more out of the cat (or cats) than you ever put in to them. I strongly suggest getting a pair of kittens if you're getting kittens. It gives them someone to play with and they grow up less neurotic, IME.
Getting kittens is not an immediate solution, obviously, as opposed to befriending a more adult cat who is a good mouser. But I personally prefer the kitten solution while maintaining and adding traps until they reach an age where they can be of more use. That way you'll end up with well adjusted cats that are usually more friendly and loving.
