Sadly I get many mails to my private account with the same questions.
"Do you still have the cat?"
"Is it for free?"
Usually it's the only text I get, I tried so many times to be friendly and explain the guidelines ect. But always I never got an answer again.
Only those 2 sentences.
Im sorry, but if I want to adopt an animal, I never ask if its for free. I tell about myself and why I'm interested in the pet.
They are family and living creatures. The fee is just to cover the veterinary cost, which would be more expensive for you, if you do it by yourself.
For me means that already, that i won't give a cat to you.
Its happened so often now and im pretty sure somebody spread the rumor, that i have free cats. If you read that. PLEASE STOP
I got again this mail and it makes me just sad.
Why we dont give cats for free? Here are some reasons.
1. I let all vaccine done, neuter first, do all vet checks ect. That is expensive! Im not that rich, that i cover all and say, here for free!
2. Many free cats and kittens are used for dogs fights as prey! I know that, we own a pitbull, but he is not a fighter. Many people give kittens for free, they mean it good, but there are many bad people. They don't spent 20.000¥ for a cat, which anyway get killed.
3. Cats cost money in future too. If somebody can't pay 20.000 to 30.000¥ (around our fee) for a cat, cant pay future veterinary cost ect. They are living creatures, family, which needs the best treatment, thats expensive.
4. Especially black cats are used in voodoo, they believe, if they slaughter a black cat, they get their wished granted. Why i know that? Im half Brazilian and sadly voodoo exist there too and now in japan too.
We RESCUE them, we spent a lot of time and money. Of course we will check everybody who want to adopt one of our rescues, because we spent all of our time and money for them, that they get a great future.
