Extra Information FYI:
Information on costs of owning an animal and what to expect:
If you start with a "free" or under $50 or even $2,000 if from a breeder but with nothing done to them, costs to expect:
Initial costs for new kitten: I get mine spayed/neutered, tested for feline leukemia/FIV/Heartworm, vaccinate(kittens need 3 in a series of 3 week intervals), deworming and extras.
Extra's common(probably well over 50% have at least one of these: parasites(worms, ear mites, giardia or coccidia are examples requiring treatment at the veterinary clinic). They usually have more then one health problem and I noticed it has nothing to do with how dirty or clean the environment they come from. Please visit the site of the vet I use to spay, test for leukemia/fiv/heartworm, vaccinate, deworm: http://www.spayaz.com/prices-coupons/
