Go to your local shelter and adopt a kitten. However, remember kittens cost more than just the initial price you pay for it. You have to get it 3 sets of vaccinations starting at 6 weeks of age, deworming medication, spay/neuter, and yearly vet check-ups which includes a rabies vaccination. Also, don’t forget the flea/tick medication which needs to be given monthly.
You shouldn’t get one under 10 weeks they need to be with their mom only there are still some people who give them up that young, sad. Go to for a rescue near you. The little extra money if any you spend will be saved in the long run since your kitten will be neutered/spayed and have shots.
There’s a good chance someone is giving away kittens; check the newspaper, local pet stores, groomers and veterinarians. Better yet, go to your local shelter, rescue organization, or municipal pound and adopt a homeless kitten.
Check the laws in your area – it may be possible to find one under 10 weeks, but in many places you can’t sell or transfer a kitten under 8 weeks. This might mean you have to wait a few weeks if the kitten you want is too young.
You might be asked to pay an adoption fee, but that usually means it at least has its first shots. Keep in mind there’s no such thing as a ‘free’ kitten – they will always need food, litter, toys, medical care, and of course SPAY OR NEUTER!!!
