  • One of the kids' friend's cat has a litter of kittens. We were thinking of taking one, however we have now been told that the price is £200 for a kitten.

    I was unaware that there is a market in which a standard moggy kitten can fetch £200, is that normal? I've just done a bit of googling and it seems that there are people trying to charge that amount for non pedigree kittens, but also plenty of people asking a much more reasonable £50-£60.

    I've also had a look at Battersea D&C Home, however they only seem to have older cats which could be problematic as we have a cat already.

  • We paid £150 for Ned. No breed or anything, just an accident. Though I’d never let him know that.

  • That’s just taking the piss. The Cat Protection League and the Celia Hammond Trust always have more than they can handle and they’ll be inoculated and all that too. Don’t go private. For what it’s worth, my pedigree cat cost me £200 from a breeder, albeit this was 8 years ago

  • Maybe tell them to get their cat neutered and stop being despicable profiteering cunts?

  • How old is old for your cat to accept? Patch was 1-2 when I got her from Battersea and there was a weeks old kitten in the room next to hers.

    I remember hearing a conversation between a pretty senior lady and a staff about that lady insisting to have a kitten to add to her colony of cats at home. The staff was probably too honest to say that if we gave your a kitten, it might outlive you, would you have a plan in place for that?

    I was like... LOL...

    What the fuck is wrong with these people?

    FWIW it's kitten season right now so most of your local shelters will be rammed with homeless kittens. Just keep trying other shelters. Some of them will only rehome kittens in pairs as it's better for the kitten (this site explains the reasoning)

    They kept her in the gardeby herself day/night since house was too busy. Paid 20(they paid 10)

    What the shitting fuck is wrong with these people?!

    omfg.

  • The fuck, £200 quid for a kitten.
    Is mum cat a cash cow?

    Seems to be lots of people that are horrible to animals.
