How much are cats at Petco? People ask this question on the Internet. It is a bad question1. People should be asking, "what's the best place to adopt a cat from?" And the answer will always be a rescue centre. That is the only place one needs to go to to adopt a cat and you will feel better about it because not only will you have adopted a cat for yourself but you will have probably saved the life of a cat. It's a win-win situation and when you adopt a cat from a rescue centre you do more than adopt a companion animal for your benefit, you will have benefited in a small way the entire population of unwanted domestic cats on the planet. It will have been a gift to the world. You'll feel better, so it will be a gift to you as well.
Note 1 - if Petco only have rescue cats then I am wrong ;)
I'm not sure about Petco but the cats at PetSmart are actual shelter cats for adoption. I adopted one two months ago. It was a stray cat the animal shelter picked up. The cat is wonderful. The adoption fee at PetSmart was only $25.00 and included Rabies registration and shot, neuter, necessary vaccines, fecal testing, testing for all the major cat related diseases and microchip. This is a great program. I could not believe this small adoption fee included everything I just mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThanks. This did occur to me when I published the post! Well done in adopting a stray cat.

DeleteEach group of cats at Petco or Petsmart are rescues by various organizations. At Petsmart, the various organizations have a specific area of the store where they "set up". And, each rescue organization sets their own fees that can range from $25 to $200.00 sometimes.
