Thanks for being concerned about my finances. I’m in law school and work full time so every penny has been counting. Doesn’t mean I don’t have it. My girlfriend who makes less than I do manages to give her cat a happy healthy life. So I’ll take you message w a grain of salt.

PS you sound really fun at parties

Hey I’m just letting you know the real cost. And you’re the one who brought up concerns over finances in your post lol. My kitten cost me $2,000 in a couple days having eaten an ibuprofen tablet that was on the coffee table for two seconds while I reached for my water! Using the experience I have, if you’re already concerned about the adoption cost (which is literally and I cannot stress this enough THE CHEAPEST part) tells me you’re not ready for the expenses down the line.

This absolutely!! Vet bills add up even after pet insurance and people really need to consider how much it can cost to care for pets before they adopt one.
