Anyone know a good place to adopt a kitten?

[Kitty Lover]

Hi,

I am a huege lover of cats and would like 2 kittens.

Where would be the best place to get a kitten (in North Carolina)

And a place that has pictures of the kittens, and where i can get the kitten for free.

petfinder.com, craigslist, or your local humane society is sure to have free kittens, they're really abundant

I already tried there.

I guess it is really hard to find a white kitten near my area.

I did a google search and found that cats are expensive to get. I am often finding kittens for over $100

Check your local newspaper ads!
I am always seeing 100's of ads for free kittens around here.

Maybe you know someone who has kittens?
My cousin's neighbour had a litter of kittens and thats how I got my two.Just check around.

Or you can put up an ad saying you would like two kittens.

Ok, I found some cute kittens but they dont have their shots.

Does anyone know about how much it would cost to get 2 kittens their shots? and get them "Fixed"?

PLEASE check out your local animal shelter for kittens. Actually, online would be better because someone may be a foster parent and so you wouldn't find the kitten in the shelter that you could adopt. If you don't see a white kitten online, you could always still contact the foster parent or the shelter and ask them if they're aware of any white kittens that are available.

I'm adopting a cat who is just over a year old and I need to take her to the vet for her distemper and rabies shot. I think each one is around $8.00. HOWEVER, you should go to a vet that you like, but prices do vary from vet to vet. So call around too. Another perk of adopting from a shelter is that sometimes they include these shots and the spaying/neutering in the adoption fee.

Keep us posted! Good luck!

Ok, I found there is sometimes "Free Fixing day" at some shelter or something.

I did already look online at shelter's sites. And i found the cutest kittens on another site, free and comes with nothing.

What shots do kittens have to have? The only one i have herd of was a 3-in-1 shot that they get like 4 times then get it yearly. And these kittens will only be indoor cats.

Your kitten should have the 3 in 1, rabies, and be vet checked. Where I live the 3 in 1 and rabies shots costs about $18.00 total when administered by the vet. In addition, the office visit usually runs around $35.00. If you want to have the kitten checked for FeLuk that's an additional charge. Neuter/spay runs anywhere from $45-60, unless you qualify for a low cost spay/neuter clinic.

If you adopt from a shelter, particularly a kill shelter, the adoption fee will include the inoculations and spay/neuter. Most importantly, you will be saving a viable animal from euthanization.

The last "free" kitten I got cost me over $150. in the first week after she became ill. That was before the inoculations and spay.

Good luck whatever you decide.

WOW...your prices are cheap!

Here the vet charges $45 JUST for a visit and then plus whatever meds,tests,worming or whatever costs...to spay a kitten it costs $240 (about) and to nueter a kitten is about $145.Around there anyway.

Thats at the vet I go to.It is a little more at other places!

[momofnine]

I'm in a rural community, in Oklahoma, which might explain why our prices are less expensive.

I like petfinder.com myself. I know some people who adopted, and they never had a problem.

[Blondi24721010]

...I'm one of them! I just adopted my kitty from there and I can pick her up Saturday!

Petfinder.com is AMAZING - I highly recommend it.

most of the humane shelters do have an adoption fee but they normally come with first vaccines spayed or neutered and some felv/fiv tested so in the end it cheaper than going to a vet for all that.
