Kitten prices

[bobbie3917]

i have never paid for a moggy, the people selling them for 100 might find them hard to sell as there will be many black and white kittens out there, i can see why some one might pay for a kitten is it was the colour that they wanted like Fran did

Apparently there are areas in the country with a kitten shortage - I wish the rescues would get their heads together. The local rescue could do the homecheck and then the adoptees could go and collect the kitten - as long as not to far away.

Misty found me, I rehomed Patches and Leia, no charge, I paid $25.00 for Su-ling (Siamese) way back in the early 70s, $50.00 for Sultan (Aby) in the 80s, and $300.00 for Dandy (Singapura) in the 90s.

For the record, the fee here in Washington at the Humane Society to rehome a cat is $65.00. Spay/neuter and shots included in the fee....

I have never paid a thing for any of my cats.

And if I were asked for that ai would walk away.

However if I rehomed from a "proper" rescue like CP for instance, I would happily donate about £100 there abouts to cover their costs and offset those who pay nothing..or very little.

Thanks Kazz - always helpful to know "in the region of" - and I am perfectly happy to accept that a "donation" to a cat rescue is quite different to "paying" an individual for a kittie.

There again can't see me getting another cat from a pet home, a such as I will only have moggies and they will come from rescues such a the CP. ...if and when I get another cat that is.

Troy and Chesters mum has now being spayed and so has her daughter from the last litter so i know what i brought them for went to getting something done. I wouldnt have beign allowed to have any cats where i am living through the Rspca or cp as i live in a upstairs flat. I never regreted buying them the only thing i regret is that i never went back for Kado's brother.

See as far as I would be concerned living in an upstars flat should not preclude anyone from having a cat the CP adn other rescues who turned you down have in effect boosted the cat pet market while losing a good home for a rescue......shame. Although I know not all recues think like this it does appear to be a personal "area" descision.

I paid for mine but not even half of that, except Jennie who I think was £50, not sure, but a donation to the rescue.

Nipper and Tucker I wasn't charged for as they were born to a stray cat on my pal's farm, but I did give her about £50 I think, for the 2 of them, for what she had spent on them as she took in the mum and kittens and did everything right for them and kept mum.

Tabs I paid £2 for back in 1993.

Vitaani I think I gave the woman £30, she wasn't really for sale but had been kept in a cage since the lady got her and was still only about 6 weeks old when I got her, so left mum very early and the lady who got her, well god only knows why she got her to put in a cage. Anyway, I sort of bribed her to let me have her for money and she did. Enough said really!

Kiara I think I paid £400 for. She was being fostered by the breeder of her mum as her mum's owner had to go into a woman's refuge suddenly and had to give back her cats to their breeder which included Kiara's mum and their litter. I could have had Kiara or one from another litter which was the breeder's actual litter but I fell for the sob story of Kiara's litter.

And Anakin I paid £40 for, which I regret fueling but, well, you know the story behind him and the only thing I regret more is not being able to take all 3 kittens.

CP wouldn't let me have one either as I had a child under 5 years, despite him already living with a cat and 3 dogs when I was looking and being completely fine with them, they refused to even to come out and meet him so I could show them he was good with all animals.
