KITTEN WANTED IN COLORADO!!! Female preferred.

[HenniesInMyHeart]

We have been looking for a new kitten for over a year now, and all the shelters are now charging $200 per kitten. It used to be that the shelters would have springtime deals and even giveaways due to so many unplanned litters, but the aggressive spay/neuter stuff seems to be making it to the point where no one can find free babies anymore. I realize that this is a good thing in general, but it's murder for people on a fixed income who want a cat. Does anyone have, or know anyone, with some kittens? We want them to be a companion and a house cat. We do have some mice that have made it into the house and are hoping the kitten would help us mitigate them, but our #1 reason is we have a very sweet, lonely and shy cat who needs a friend. His sister got hit by a car. :'( If you have, or know anyone, who has kittens, please shoot me a message?
Please help!

I'm in N. Colorado, btw.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a local FB page, city, county etc? Try finding a FB page for your counties animal shelter, or a animal lost and found group.

This is how I found a new kitten for my daughter last week, hers got out ( 3months old) and got on the losing end of a fight with a stray dog. So I was frantically trying to find her a new baby. Kitten must have snuck out while we were bringing groceries in with the door propped open is all we can figure out, she never went outside.

Just bumping this because we still want to find a little kitten for our lonely boi.

@HenniesInMyHeart - I want to say that you should definitely try and find an animal shelter or rescue near you - the kitten season boom is about to happen, and shelters will be filling up with babies. The price reflects all the care that goes into them, to help them find good homes. You should receive vaccine records, possible info on flea/tick meds, some shelters even micropchip and spay/neuter. If you see "Free to good home" ads, know that you won't really know their medical history and could end up with a sick baby. Find a good soul asked a small rehoming fee, ask about their vet records. Ask what environment they came from - feral, or domestic? But please consider the shelters. Another reason why prices are higher for kittens - they are easily adopted out, and go quicker than adults/black cats/elderly cats/special needs cats usually. How did your first baby get hit, if I may ask? Please be prepared to keep your new addition safe, and know how to calmly and properly introduce a new cat to the home. Dr. Sophia Yin's website talks about positive training and may help you get more info on how to do this. Best wishes.
