We’ve compiled a list of steps that will help you during your first day and weeks of adopting a cat:
Adoption cost and processing
The first question that you might have is how much does it cost to adopt a cat? An adoption fee covers a lot of services which may include: a veterinary wellness visit and exam ($150-300), neutering fee ($150-300), distemper vaccination ($20-30×2), rabies vaccination ($15-25), feline leukemia test ($30-50), flea/tick treatment ($50-200), microchip ($50), deworming ($20-50), and collar and an identification tag ($5-10).
- Include contact information when appropriate.
Spread the information around. Use social media to contact your friends and family. Also, call up anyone you know who isn’t on social media. In addition, try putting flyers up and placing an ad in the newspaper. You can also ask at your vet clinic to see if your vet knows anyone who will take her.
- Don’t forget to include the picture you took.
- Check with your local shelter and pet advocacy groups. Some of these organizations allow owners to post animals on their sites to help them find new homes.
Talk to people who show interest. If people show interest in your pet, talk to them over the phone or the internet. Try to figure out if the person will be a good pet owner for your cat.

Please note this was an informational research project to educate a friend & a new parent for proper senior cat care & adoption. I did not write most of this material, only gathered & now sharing it to help other cat parents.
