What are the costs involved in adopting a cat from Town Cats?
The Adoption Fee helps to cover the cost of initial medical care and the general daily costs of caring for each cat during their stay at Town Cats or a foster home. Although the adoption fee helps, it does not come close to covering the costs involved in caring for the large number of felines in our care, especially in the case of those with medical conditions or long term residents who are harder to place as the majority of people prefer younger kittens to adopt. The adoption fee is also an indicator of the commitment of an adopter. It also allows us to defray costs associated with spaying or neutering all cats and kittens who pass through Town Cats’ doors to help us in our goal to reduce the homeless cat population. Although it may seem an easy option to obtain a free cat from a friend, or out of the newspaper, the initial costs of all the medical work that every one of our kitties have already had done at time of adoption is far greater than the adoption fee we charge.
