[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Farm kittens are almost always available for free in the spring and summer. I have never paid for a cat and have owned cats for 42 years. They aren’t fixed, vaccinated, chipped, or wormed when you pick them up, but that didn’t cost me $500.[/quote] Really? I think my vet is pretty reasonable with his pricing, but the initial exam/vaccines is like $150 or so, and the 3 subsequent booster shot visits are around $30 each. Spay is somewhere around $300 and microchipping is $25. It adds up. I've also never gotten a stray or random oops litter kitten that didn't need something additional treated, they almost always have fleas, worms and respiratory/eye infection. Flea treatment that actually works is pretty expensive, antibiotics, eye cream and worm pills are not super expensive, but they aren't free either. My "free" cats cost me considerably more than $500 in the first 6 months. [/quote]
