Price of kittens
I just went on gumtree to see the price of kittens ( no I’m not going to get one) someone else wants one and out of interest I wondered how much kittens cost these days .
Now having lived overseas for decades I am used to people begging you to take a kitten as there are always too many kittens needing home .
In the U.K. kittens start at about £45 ponds to whatever you want to pay for the. .
A common or garden moggy is about £45- 150
And they come with prerequisites ‘ to forever home only’
What do they think people are going to say sorry we only want it for a week ?
Or
Are they going to inspect the home and keep doing so for the next 13 years to make sure you still have it ?
Why o why do people breed cats ( or dogs ) which they then sell and then as a sop to their own conscience perhaps insist on a forever home ?
Once an animal is sold it may be lucky and get a good home and it may not .
It’s a living animal at the mercy of its next owners .
