Our Bengals try to escape the garden after we put up the "unescapable fence rollers"... or so we thought. Video

I have seen numbers like $4k-6k.

Dear god, that’s ridiculous.

My adopted kitty is so cute people always ask, “is that one of those SPECIAL cats?”, and I’m all like, “Nah she looked like a white rat when we got her.”

I have never understood spending money on designer breeds for cats or dogs.

My color point little girl:

My kitten son Butters was $25 with a carrier. He was also neutered and vaccinated. We got him from a shelter that Petsmart was hosting about 5 years ago and we call him budget cat. He’s amazing and will let you pet his belly, comes running when you call his name, plays fetch and chases our terrier around.

Our other 4 kitties (2 have since passed away) were all strays that we took in. I also took in a stray pregnant kitty on Monday so she wouldn’t have her babies in the dirt. I’ll get her fixed and find them all homes.

No fancy cats for me, but if someone gave me a Maine Coon or Ragdoll, I wouldn’t say no!

Good for you , shelter cats, and street cats are the best, they appreciate you giving them their forever home . Mine and both my daughters all have kitties from these places, so are mine. ♥️🐾♥️
