adopting from shelters/rescueing

I would love to adopt a cat from an animal shelter so it wouldn't have to be put to sleep, but it's so expensive! they make it almost impossible. i would rather my vet gave the shots and nuetering. that way i can get billed instead of using cash. i want to save ones life.

it can be expensive to adopt last year when i adopted my dog the fee was 100 dollars but look at it this way the shelter has taken care of that animl so you will be getting a healthy animal who will not need anything medical for at least a year (hopefully) that money you give the shelter will go towards saving another animals life getting another animal off the streets and into a home. the shelters are just looking out for the the animals well being

I don't think most people realize what a good deal they are getting from most shelters. Our Humane Society charges about $100 for a dog and less for a cat. That includes spay / neuter, heart worm check, microchip, feline aids test.. If you were to take a dog or cat to a vet's office close to where I live you would easily spend at least three times that to have the same things done. And the best part is they are not only healthy, but there is no chance they can reproduce and be part of the problem of pet overpopulation.
   
I would suggest checking petfinders and see if there are any shelters close to you that offer lower adoption fees. I adopted my last kitty from a shelter that is in the city next to where I live. It's actually closer to get to than the shelters in my own city and they charge very low adoption fees. Here's a photo of my Sunshine. She shares her house with 8 dogs and they live in harmony.
   
Good luck!
