How much does a kitten cost?

Answer 1

It really depends what breed you are wanting. I assume that you are wanting a certain breed of cat. Otherwise your local animal shelter will have an assortment of baby kitties up for adoption. The usual adoption fee is about $30 or less.

If you look in your local paper, such as one of the free classified papers where you live you will see that many people are giving them away for free. You really cannot beat the price and the kitty will thank you for giving it a home so that it does not end up on the street.

There are other costs that you will need to consider. Vet visits are less costly if you take your baby kitty to the Humain Society for her shots and checkups. You must also keep in mind that you will need to buy a litter box and feed her.

The following is a break down of basic costs for when you obtain your new baby kitty.

____________________________________________________________________

Vet - $20 to $100 (usually about $40)

Food - $5, depending on the quality

litter pan - $5 or less (Wal-mart)

clay litter - $3 (Wal-Mart)

Toys - $0 FREE you can make the toys

Time - $ You decide how much of your time you can spend with your new baby.

You will need to understand that this is a new born child who requires attention , love and dedication. This baby will depend on YOU. To provode every one of it's needs to survive in this world. This means that the one thing that you will have to provide to this baby is your time. If you cannot do this, then maybe you can find a friend who already has a kitten that you can share. Or maybe it can be a group effort between yourself and other family members. The kitty will be a new family member. Make sure you do not have a dog there that will not be so happy about this idea.

The last item that goes on the list of costs is.

Your Love - $0 - FREE, You can give all you can find inside of you to your new friend and I am without a doubt certain it will give the same back to you.
