I neuter ALL cats and kittens meaning none will leave me and go on to reproduce adding to the amount of cats and kittens abandoned or stuck in shelters/rescues. All cats and kittens are also vaccinated and microchipped before leaving. I do not vaccinate for FeLV simply because a lot of the cats/kittens that arrive are poorly or have low immune systems due to neglect and this particular vaccination can cause them more harm than good. I flea and worm treat all cats and kittens and they are blood tested for FeLV/FIV wherever needed. I'm a small self funding rescue and money is extremely tight - in fact it costs me far more money to look after these cats and kittens than I have back in adoption/donation fees - I do not 'make' anything out of them. With food, litter, flea and worm treatment, vaccinations, microchipping, blood tests and of course neutering plus vet fees in cases of illness etc, costs are high so I ask for a minimum donation of £135 for all cats and kittens. You may ask 'why should I pay that when I can get a 'free ad' kitten?' The answer is simple. You have then got to pay for the vaccinating, neutering, microchipping, flea & worm treatment. You will want to know that the new kitten is healthy - mine are all vet checked prior to neutering, you will not have the hassle of going backwards and forwards to the vets for the vaccinating/neutering - and most of all you are rescuing a cat or kitten in need of a forever home. A homecheck is required before anyone meets the cats and kittens. Ways you can help The ARC:
