If you just want to invert the output of a 555 timer I would just use a simple transistor as Max suggested. Just about any small switching transistor will work. Here is a simple example:

Note Vout is inverted from Vin.

What are you driving with the 555 output? With a typical load drawing less than the rated 555 output current, instead of connecting the load between pin 3 and ground you can connect it between pin3 and the positive supply rail.
