Marek, MS Ed gives you everything you need to know about the financial side of taking the best care of your furry feline friend.

Dad says that free kittens sure are not free and we may cost a bit over time but if you figure how much love we give back we are worth a Million Dollars
You kitties are priceless!
I’d hate to think what we spent over the last two years in Vet/Specialty/Emergency/Hospital expenses but I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Of course we would.
I am certain I have spent enough money over the years on all my pets to buy a nice new automobile!
So true.
