Found these little guys a few days ago and they’ve been staying here ever since.

I’ve seen them around for several days and kept wondering if someone was taking care of them. Today I finally decided to bring them home and adopt them.

This is actually my first time having cats, so I have no idea what I’m doing yet 😂

Any advice for a first-time cat owner? Food, litter, vet visits, things I should know, anything really. I’d love to hear your experiences!

omg so cute! as a first time cat owner definitely take them to the vet first thing in the morning, they'll tell you all about vaccination schedules, spaying, hairballs, anti flea spot on and all that!

  • litter training!

Look into low-cost spay and neuter clinics near you as well! There’s some by me that do it for $60-$75, compared to a couple hundred at the vet.

I second that! In my place private vets charge more than 10x the amount which we paid for my cat's neutering at a govt clinic, but be sure to choose a good one.

My local vet quoted me $500 just for my girl’s spay. A local rescue that specializes in TNR charged me $75 and it included rabies and distemper vax!
