Kittens (under 1 year) $70.00*

*This entitles the adopter to two free vaccines, and a discount off the spay or neuter. All animals will receive a microchip, martingale collar and leash for dog and a collar for a cat. All kittens/puppies will be dropped off at the veterinarian prior to going home with the new owner. They will receive an exam, initial vaccines, disease testing and spay/neuter if the veterinarian feels the animal is age/size appropriate. The veterinarian will call you when the kitten/puppy is ready to be picked up. This could take up to seven days or more. The new owner will be responsible for the balance of the veterinarian invoice. Typically, the balance has been $100.00-200.00.
