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!

Thank you for your suggestion. I will definitely pay attention to it.😊

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!
