For young cat:
Food - 2 pouches and some dry food each day.
£5.25 per month on dry food.
Pouches cat likes are 27.5p each, £16.50 per 30 day month, but sometimes on offer, and you can probably get cheaper. My cats are a bit fussy and won’t eat cheaper Tesco own brand cat food.
So £21.75 on average month for food.
£14.99 Healthy pet club for 6 monthly check ups, annual jabs and flea and wormer monthly. We also get a 10% discount on prescriptions and operations.
Litter, not used that much as cat goes outside. I buy a big bag for £7 and it definitely lasts over a month. You’ll have to keep indoors at first, so litter will cost more.
Insurance we pay annually, as slightly cheaper that way. I think it was around £89 for the year, not sure.
Cat carrier was £10, a few years back.
I didn’t buy any special bowls, blankets etc, just repurposed what we already had.
Tend to make/repurpose toys too - cat particularly loves crumpled paper, toilet rolls and pens.
Having said that, I have spent a fair amount on things that get majestically ignored <eyes unused £40 cat bed>
I think neutering and microchipping were about £80.
Cat flap was about £15, but we did pay someone to install it too.
We have a timed feeding bowl so we can go away overnight - think that was about £20 but worth every penny.
Don’t use cattery, we have lovely neighbours, but nearest one is £12 per night for one cat, £16 for two.
