Free Kittens
Our adoption fees are set in order to help cover veterinary costs associated with making sure our cats are in the best possible health prior to adoption. If you are asking yourself how you can possibly afford to pay an adoption fee, then maybe you should also ask yourself if you can afford a 'free' kitten.

Total Vet Costs for 'FREE' Kitten at end of one year: $411
Of course, this figure does not include other health care that the average kitten requires. Nor does it include the costs of food, litter, toys, a scratching post and other supplies. Our foster homes estimate it costs approximately $25 a month to provide food and litter for one cat. These costs are not covered by our adoption fees.
So please consider your decision carefully. If there isn't room in your budget for a free kitten, then please take another look at one of ours!
