Getting A Kitten!

Ashley*Dawn · #1 (**permalink**) Sep 10, 06

I've wanted a freaking cat for so long and I think the time as finnaly arived where my parents are going to let me adopt a cat. We went to the spca the other day and it just broke my heart to leave and not take something home. All the poor animals just looked to sad and like they wanted to be loved so I talked to my parents and they said if I wanted her I had to buy her and pay for everything myself. I have no problum with that she just need's to be loved and I can't wait to freaking go pick her up!
This is my new baby!

Im getting her this friday, from the coquitlam spca. She's 4 month's old. I hope to get her I called today to see is she was up for addoption yet and the lady said that someone was interested in her 2 ladie's, but I think that may have been me and my mom cause she's been there since june and no one's been interested yet.

How much did she cost?

Ashley*Dawn · #9 (**permalink**) Sep 16, 06

at the SPCA it's $135 to adopt a kitten and I think $110 for a grown up cat. That includes getting the kitten fixed when their old enough

I was going to do that but we're not letting her outside
So my parents think it would be a waste of money.

But just think how terrible you would feel if some how she got out, if your sister didnt close a door or window or something silly like that.

Ashley*Dawn · #16 (**permalink**) Sep 19, 06

see that can't happen we're not allowed pet's here so we'd get kicked out. Im not the least bit worried about her getting out. If my parent's decide to do it,, and if they dont it's up to them.

I've had my cat for over a year and I got him from the SPCA when he was 5 months. He is strictly an indoor cat so I thought that I didnt need a collar for him but after reading what happened to Miss Marz's cat I went to get a collar w/ a tag for mine as things can just happen. I tried to put it on him and he thought that I was punishing him. He got all upset and started to almost whimper and cry. And he was trying to hide. This is totally my fault b/c I didn't put one on him in the begining. So now that he is use to being free and not having anything around his neck he doesn't want it.

As your cat is still young it would totally be a smart move to think about getting a collar for her. I understand that you aren't allowed pets where you live, however things just happen. Allison is right about the window thing also, worse senario if someone were to break into the house or a friend leaves the door open out goes the kitty. :(

Just something to think about. I always worry about mine b/c he is like my baby and I'm the over protected mum lol
