My find? A clearance kitty! Welcome...Lars.
He is adorable isn't he...he naps a lot.
The shelter in my area had a "Home for the Holidays" event and all cats under five-years-old were $50 (that's half price) and all over five-years-old were free. Lars is my little black, halloweeny, boy. And at 3 1/2 months he's just a baby!
He is friendly and loves to play with his feather toy- best investment ever.
However, having a kitten is quite pricey as I soon found out. Word to the wise: do not buy food and litter and such at a large pet store like PetCo. Expensive. Though they did give me 10% off for just having adopted Lars.
I will have to search TJ Maxx and Marshalls for sufficiently adorable and affordable food bowls for him as well as toys.
His trip to the vet was also emptying my wallet. It's $45 for a check-up and then another $30 for his medications since he needed medicine and eye drops for his conjunctivitis and possible upper respiratory cold. Poor thing. On top of that, he has a slight heart murmur, but the vet said hopefully it will go away. Otherwise I should probably get pet insurance if he needs lots of treatment or tests for it.
Does anyone have any experience or advice on good, but affordable pet insurance?
