Tbf the $10 is more so some crazy doesn't scoop up a box of free kittens
Most places where I am located charge adoption fees etc (they go back to shelter for costs etc) to ensure whoever is adopting the animal is serious
By being a real person (not creepy and no nefarious purposes) most places and people will happily waive the fee to get the pet in the right home
Also buy shelter rescues! Screw "purebreed" "pets"
No no. Those pets are good boys and girls too. Screw the people that breed pets for money.
That’s why you liberate them.
Some places won't allow any adoptions for a few days before Halloween. The one in a town over didn't let anyone adopt black cats for like 2 weeks in October.
The $10 is from someone trying to buy the kitten, which on its own is very suspicious.
My money would be on them feeding it to something.
That's exactly how this reads
Falls under "or similar health maintenance."
