Category: Pricing and Payment

Yes, there are some additional costs besides the kitten price. Here’s a summary of what you should expect:

Additional CostDetails
1. Shipping/Delivery FeeIf you require shipping or delivery for your kitten, additional fees may apply. The cost varies based on the distance and method (local delivery, flight nanny, or ground transport).
2. Deposit FeeA non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a kitten. This deposit is applied toward the total adoption fee, but it’s an upfront cost to secure your choice.
3. Additional Veterinary CostsThe adoption fee covers all initial veterinary care (vaccinations, deworming, spay/neuter, health certificate), but any follow-up care or additional health tests requested by the new owner may incur extra costs.
4. Travel SuppliesIf you are picking up your kitten in person, you may need to purchase a carrier and other travel supplies to ensure a safe trip home. These costs are not included in the adoption fee.
5. Food & SuppliesWhile a starter kit is included, you will need to invest in food, litter, grooming tools, toys, and other essentials to prepare for your kitten’s arrival. These are ongoing costs to keep in mind.
6. Microchip Registration FeeThe microchip is implanted before adoption, but some companies charge a small registration fee to update the microchip information in your name. This fee is often minimal.
