My Chihuahua hates puppies, loves kittens. We found a tiny little kitten with a broken leg a couple months ago, and she acted as a surrogate, snuggling and protecting him from the other cats. It was adorable. Now that he's older, she plays with him constantly!Also, I was thinking if it would be a good idea to take him to the shelter and adopt him... Is that not allowed? I know they will make him healthy and all. It's probably a better option than taking him to the vet multiple times for a big bill... I need to convince my mom that I will be a good owner because I really need a kitten in my life! I can't let this little kitty go, I love him too much. And if he likes my chihuahua, she would really benefit from a friend
The Humane Society and SPCA generally have low-cost vaccination and spay/neuter programs, depending on your area and income. Generally, you only have to pay $10-$20 and they take care of the surgery and necessary vaccinations. I got my cat spayed a few months ago, and it only came up to about $80, including optional vaccines (We didn't qualify for low-cost spay/neuter). I live in WV, though, and our costs are usually lower compared to national average.
