please dont tell me because of the price i really want good opinions so i can convince my parents for me to adopt one
I am 13
i have a little brother who is 4
and i really want to adopt a kitten so am i doing the right thing i mean i LOVE cats and my parents said i can get 1 later and i want to adopt to save a life 2
so are the ages alright
# 1 and 2 include spar and neuter
Thank you for your answers ! 
I would go with the first one. It offers spay neutre wich is really good as you dont want kittens.
i just got a cat in August and my parents didn’t want me to get one. What i did was just keep bringing it up and one night i went and we had a “one-on-one” conversation and i ended up getting one a few weeks later. I had to pay for half of it and it turned up amazing. I am 13 too so i just think that you should keep bringing it up and then have a one on one. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
They both sound about the same, but before adopting any cat, whose going to be paying for the cat food, vet checks, toys, kitty litter, boxes, etc. It costs a lot of money to keep a cat, around $750 ($50 for litter and food per month ($600 total) plus another $150 for vet care) a year for a healthy cat, much more if the cat becomes sick or injured.
I would check both places out, and see if any of the cats click with you and your brother. Go with the cat you like the most!
Its very good of you to adopt an unwanted cat, all my cats were adopted, and are absolutely wonderful! But make sure that everybody involved, including your parents, know what they are getting into.
They are both about of the same value. You should base it off of the reputation of the humane society/shelter/adoption center.
A cat can live with people of any age. My parents raised 3 kids with 2 cats and we turned out fine, so its ok to adopt a cat with your brother, just keep an eye on him if you decide to get a very young kitten. And if you can, get 2 cats/kittens, otherwise they will get very, very lonely and depressed.
I would go with number one. #2 is a better offer for dogs but there is more protection and health care provided in #1. Also notice in #1 you get testing for Feline Leukemia and Feline FIV. Where you only get the Leukemia test in number 2.
#2 would be good if it had FIV test. My cat had FIV and died horribly. I would check into that to make sure that isn’t included. If it’s not included, go with #1. The FIV test is normally a $60 test, so an extra $20 is actually a pretty good deal. Verify with #2 that they don’t do FIV test, cuz they usually include that with FeLV.
No. 1, just because of the FIV testing. It’s an expensive test and most rescue organizations can’t afford to test all animals.
#1 is good because your cat should be tested for FIV and FeLuk, and at the vet he will do a complete exam before giving the vxs, #2 just gives you a carrier and collar,they don’t test for FIV. FIV is aids for cats, its contagious if he bites another cat, he will get ill and eventually die if he is positive. You want to make sure he is vaccinated for FIV and FeLuk, some vets will say they don’t have a vaccination for it, they do. There is not a cure for it, so test and vaccinate to make sure he doesn’t have/catch it.Go with #1. You get what you pay for and they do more treatment and vaccinations.
#2
#2
Not only because of the price, but because a lot more comes with it.
You can choose any animal that you want, all the standard procedures are given, and you even get a micro-chip and carrier along with post vet care.
That’s a great deal!!
Definitely number 2 and not because of the price but because it is a better deal.. I particular like the 15 day free vet care part which can get expensive if needed..
The first one does say 30-day health guarantee but that to me can mean that you can bring animal back if problems arise and probably does not mean that they will give you free vet care for 30 days.. one of those fine lines kinda things that can mean two things so I would find out exactly what they mean by it beforehand..
Either way still like the 2nd one, its spelled out clearly and I wouldn’t take back a pet once I brought it home anyways so no need for the 30-day health guarantee if you are the same way
PS: Your ages are fine, just keep an eye on your little brother as 4 yr old boys can be a little rough when handling kitty cats at first..
