“Free” kittens are adorable… but they’re rarely actually free. 🐱💸
A kitten being given away for free online may not cost anything to bring home, but they still need essential veterinary care. Spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, FeLV/FIV testing, deworming, and microchipping can quickly add up to $350–$460 or more.
The prices shown here are estimates based on lower-cost veterinary clinics. At a traditional full-service veterinary hospital, these same services can be significantly more expensive.
When you adopt from Saving One Life, your $200 adoption fee includes that essential care. Our kittens are spayed or neutered, microchipped, FeLV/FIV tested, dewormed, treated for ear mites, and receive age-appropriate vaccines.
Your adoption fee also goes beyond your new best friend, it helps us provide food, shelter, medical care, and a second chance to the next cat or kitten who needs us.
So before picking up that “free” kitten, consider adoption instead. You may save money while supporting rescue and, most importantly, saving a life. 🐾
