Little Nemo Apr 2022 2:58pm, 2 Apr 2022 12,859 posts	0 Little Nemo Napoleon looks very majestic I think Hester cost me around £80 from a local charity. Like others on here she was chipped and neutered so I consider her a bit of a bargain. Worth every penny even if she is an absolute madam!
poppyH Apr 2022 5:17pm, 2 Apr 2022 1,536 posts	0 poppyH We also paid £80 4 years ago for Napoleon. £40 15 years ago for our previous cat. Both rescues.

Garfield Apr 2022 6:32pm, 2 Apr 2022 16,607 posts	0 Garfield I found one of my neighbours taking his dog and cat out for a walk...dog on lead, cat didn't need to be on a lead and was just exploring about while staying near to them.
Tazsedai Apr 2022 7:35pm, 2 Apr 2022 1,024 posts	0 Tazsedai £50 each for our pair a few years ago, they need to be fed, vet checked etc whilst in the process of rehoming so not a problem to cover that cost. We were rather surprised when we ended up with a brother-sister Bengal pair, they are v expensive to buy (although, I do think ours are a bengal mix).
Hanneke Apr 2022 7:44pm, 2 Apr 2022 87,835 posts	0 Hanneke I was told £185 10 years ago. I did want a young cat though, older ones were £85... Then the came and checked my living situation and rejected me 😱😱😱 because: my chapel is all open plan so the cat had "nowhere to go" errrrrrr??? So I ended up buying Lasya, big pedigree, from a breeder... She absolutely LOVED the fact that I had nowhere to hide from her. She cannot be locked out of my bedroom or into a utility room. She haa the run of the whole house, including a high vantage point on the mezzanine, looking down into the double height sitting area. If anything, I am the one "suffering" as I cannot get away from her 😎

Luckily we'd already had the cat flap fitted and a fenced in garden so we passed. I hadn't thought about Hester having somewhere to go. Her favourite "safe place" is under the sofa
quimby Apr 2022 11:30pm, 2 Apr 2022 5,512 posts	0 quimby I had a home visit by FaceTime - it was after lockdown, but they were still using virtual visits. I did wonder whether they might say something about the treadmill in the lounge, but they were fine with that. Moon has shown no interest in the treadmill whatsoever. We paid £100 for his rehoming from the RSPCA. I did once see a cat on a lead, in Southport some years ago. It wasn't very happy about it.
