You'd be welcome to come and meet them. They aren't pedigree, but they're both pretty and sweet.

thankyou but i am really wanting to offer a good home,,funds are limited at present

Yes get those two that Medusa is fostering - you could get both! They're gorgeous. If I could ever manage to persuade hubby to have another pet I'd love those two. But I pushed my luck when we got the dog so there's no way!

What do you mean? You want a cat for free?

yes if you put it like that,,is it not better than the poor cat going into a rescue

You need to be prepared for veterinary bills, nuetering, worming, flea treatment, food costs etc. Taking on a cat isn't a light hearted decision to make-there will always be unexpected bills-I should know, I have 5!! If you adopt from a rescue like medusa is suggesting you get vouchers etc for nuetering etc-it costs a lot less than getting a kitten and havin to pay for everything seperatley

so how are you going to afford food, vet treatment, spaying, flea treatment, worming? .......... please dont get a pet if you cant afford to look after one, long haired breeds often take more looking after too, daily grooming.

you beat me to it. ;)

have you noticed too ............ when you've money sat in the bank with nothing to spend it on, all is fine .... as soon as you buy a sofa, book a holiday, buy a car etc .... the bloody cat walks in limping, the dogs constipated and the hamster falls off its wheel!!! ............ always at the worst financial time.

Not neccessarily- all the kittens that I have known to go into a rescue shelter get rehomed almost immediatley-they are the lucky ones. At least if thye did go to rescue they would get appropriate vaccinations, nuetering vouchers, microchipped, flea treatment and wormed and somebody who was serious about taking them on would pay the adoption fee to have a fully looked after kitten. RSPCA chesterfield charge a £60 adoption fee including:
-Full vaccination course
-nuetering
-microchipping
-flea treatment
-worming
-6 weeks free pet insurance.

If you did this privtley it would cost at least £92, excluding the cost of the cat/kitten itself

im quite aware of how much they cost, i have had cats in the past,,i am not a cheap skate and a child that doesnt know what there doing,,,,thankyou madusa for the offer, i hope the cats find a lovely home,,they all deserve that,,as i said at this present moment in time i havent got the funds to pay outright for a cat,,i have just revamped my home,,but either way a good home is waiting and plenty of love, attention FOOD, VET FEES IF NEEDED ETC

but if you havn't got the funds for a cat-then surely you havn't got the funds for it to be microchipped, vaccinated yearly etc? What would happen if it got severely ill? Would it have to miss out on neccessary veterinary treatment just because you hadn't budgeted for it? Just a suggestion but why don't you wait for a few months to get one when you are sure that you will be able to cover it's bills etc. You could get bits and bats every month as and when you could afford it instead of getting it all at once. At least then you would be prepared for the cat and it wouldn't be so much of a financial burden. Why the big rush for one right now anyway?
