Re: Cost of kittens


I'm always willing to pay £50 per cat from the rescue. I'm struggling to put more aside (I'll be paying for the kittens, for my boyfriend's birthday, so I need to get £100 aside by March 30th so I can wrap it up and make it look festive, although we won't be getting them until after) so we can make a larger donation, actually. I know that money doesn't exclusively cover the cats I get, but I'm perfectly ok with my money going to other cats because it's a rescue. How much I would pay for a non-rescue moggie (or a pedigree) is irrelevant because I've long since made my peace with being the sort of person who only gets rescue cats

Re: Cost of kittens


I agree with you DM charging these sort of prices is encouraging iresponsible breeding.

I foster and help with rehoming fo a cat rescue. My current fosters who are being rehomed at the begining of April have been neutered, fully vaccinated have been fed good quality food (same as mine royal canin) and i will be driving them to their new home, as they are semi-feral and iIwant to settle them in as much as I am able (I am driving them from Norfolk to Southhampton). There new owners are paying £40 per cat and this is absolutely fine as to me it is much more important that they find the right home than the money and the home they are going to is wonderful.
