My boys were luckily for us a gift from mum but as pedigree hundreds
The donation will feed some cars and get them checked and jabbed I guess

Ours were £75 a pop a good 3 years ago. that included the vet check and microchipping and maybe a blanket. It seemed fair enough in terms of what they have to spend to keep a rescue cat

I paid £75 each for our (rescue) kittens. I think the suggested was £70. They were chipped and neutered by the charity.
Having then taken an unchipped, unneutered stray I found out that chipping costs £29 and neutering £80, so it's pretty fair.

€150 each for our little ones, adult cats were less iirc, and I had pay extra for them to have rabies shots to leave Belgium.
Another charity wanted €300 each for under 1 year old.
Both include vaccinations, neutering, and chipping, the second one has big shelter places that I guess cost a lot to run, whereas the first only uses Foster people so has lower overheads.

I think ours were £80 or £85 each a year ago. (It's nearly our cativersary). Chipped vaccinated, health checked Inc check they had been neutered (obvs would have included neutering if they needed it) and 2 weeks free insurance.
Well worth every penny. But then I'm a soppy cat slave these days.

Well I took the family out for dinner last night (to celebrate a huge pay rise at work) so I’ll match what I paid for that 👍

I know that Cat Run advert is an April Fool, but can you actually imagine trying to get a cat running in a similar manner to canicross? LOL
