Thinking of getting a 6 months old cat who had no injections yet (the owner is giving the cat away for free)

[biglips]

how much will it be all in for the injections and what questions should i ask her?

I can't remember the cost for the injections maybe £30? I have these done annually, but not everyone does. I would call your local vet and ask them. Is the history of the kitten known - always handy to know. How old is the kitten ? I love my cats, but they can be a bit of a bind when you want to go away and they need to be fed other than that they do their own thing and are pretty clean.

Injections at my cat's vet cost about £35 including the consultation fee and a worming tablet as well.

Ask whether the cat is neutered - that'll cost you another £100 or so if it's not.

Hi biglips - I would ask questions like why is she getting rid of the cat, is it friendly, will it sit on your lap (assuming you want it to), does it like being stroked.

Our 2 cats are lovely - 1 is friendly and the other is less so. Boy cats are cheaper to get done than girl cats (you ought to get it done if not done already because it stops them fighting, weeing all over your house (if a boy) have having kittens (too many kittens already). Before we got our cats I phoned up several vets to get a guide price for jabs - it depends what you have done, there is flu (a must) and feline HIV (which youo may not want to get done as it is expensive). You will also need worming tablets and some kind of flee killer (frontine or alike is best) as it stops the flees breeding and again your vet should give you a price for these.

If you get a cat fron a chariety (cats protection, RSPA) they ask for about £40 but they have been done and are microchipped and are likey to have had their jabs, but they might not want to give you one because of your dd.

well theyve already got 2 other cats (one of them is the Mum). The cat curled up to the person when is tired and is very playful and very amusing. My DD is gentle with cats as she had been to other peoples houses and is forever stroking them -pppuuuurrrrr!!!. Im just looking for a cat that is already used to toddlers and this one seems to fit the bill

cazzy - Ive forgotton about yours - how are they?

WEll apart from being terrible killers and causing us to fall out with the neighbours we love them!
