<prompt> Human: My in laws barn cat had kittens and said theyre putting them up for adoption. I dont know how much I would have to budget monthly for them or how much initial shots and stuff costs. Also if you know of any other subreddit that could help thatd be appreciated.Edit: this makes it sound like I would be adopting multiple but it would only be one Edit 2: I was not expecting such a response. Thank you to everyone who has been giving me advice and information, it is very appreciated. I feel a lot more prepared to take on this adventure with my now 2 buddies. Assistant: Make sure you can budget for unexpected. My girlfriend can handle her cats normal costs but every time something comes up and theres a vet appointment, she has a small financial crisis. If youre just barely able to make the cat work, dont do it. Human: This is very true and Ill definitely keep adding to an emergency fund. A lot of people have suggested insurance too which im sure would help.  <response>: Pet insurance for my two cats is 35month. Please dont let people who say it isnt affordable sway you from it. Most people can find ways to budget for the normal everyday expenses of a pet, but many cant afford treatment when they get sick or injured. This leads to the pet being put down almost always.If you cant afford major expenses like surgeries, batteries of tests, or medications, insurance is your other option. Without it youll be forced to make a terrible decision to forego whats needed because you cant afford it. Please dont put yourself or your pet in that position.
