We have adopted a new pre loved cat. She is big and fluffy 7 years of age. She came from cat protection, her owner passed away . Her name is Sashah (maybe Zelda /princess) She does not answer to anything yet early days we collected her last Saturday.5

Kitten now off the agenda.
Way way too expensive & then the cost of jags & the operation on top.
Plus I did have grave reservations about it being so wee & if I stood on it ect.
Intersting that they are considered to be pedigrees & they are so like Miss S.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Aww….sorry about the kitten. You don’t need anything else you can trip over though. Miss Summer will enjoy having all the attention and cuddles from you. 😻January spends - £587.586

Right decision on the kitten unless you were 100% certain about all the ins and outs of it. They're certainly not cheap, are they! we were considering getting another after we lost HRH, but decided against in the end partly down to cost (we'd have to add a fair bit of cattery time into the mix too) and partly because we're out/away a fair amount in normal times and it felt a bit unfair on the puss cat. (Not though the average puss cat would give a doo-dah whether it's staff are there or not, so long as food and free roaming was provided!)
