A "FREE" CAT CAN COST YOU AROUND $225
A free cat won't cost you as much as a free dog in most cases but cats still have to undergo almost all of the same tests, procedures, and vaccinations. The costs for a free male cat are about $200 on average and over $250 for female cats! Be safe and assured that your cat is properly taken care of and ready for his or her new home. Adopt one of ours today. The fee is a flat $85. That's a savings of about $115 to $165 by adopting.
A "FREE" DOG CAN COST YOU AROUND $370
When you first get a dog, you have to take him or her in for numerous tests and vaccinations. For a male dog, it can cost pet owners around $300, and for female dogs over $400! Be informed before you "buy" your next free dog. Better yet, play it safe and adopt one. We do all the tests, spaying and neutering, and vaccinations for you -- all for our adoption fee of $200. That's a savings of about $125 to $225 by adopting.
