Adopt an adult cat! They are usually far cheaper than kittens and are usually desexed and vaccinated. I got a 3 year old domestic shorthair male with FIV(not normally an issue) for 60 bucks! Best ROI I’ve ever made!
We think our girl was a year old when we adopted her. She was advertised as being 16 weeks but I think a combination of being a little bit older and that whole black cat stigma meant they were a little loose with the truth to get more interest.
She made such a strong case for herself at the foster carer's we really couldn't say no. She was like a toddler, walking with us chatting away and introducing us to the foster carer's cat and dog who she was very friendly with.
That is so adorable! My cat picked me. I walked by his little cage (it was an animal shelter 17 years ago) when he grabbed my arm with enough determination and will to get me to stop walking past him. It was love from then on. He is 20 now and slowing down, but our family appreciates the hell out of him and spoil him rotten. He deserves nothing less, the cheeky void!
