The cost of owning a cat for the first-year averages $1,070. So as you can see, having a cat can cost you over $ 1,000 the first year, and well over $500 each additional year. If you have medical expenses or need a pet sitter, plus the cost of food, the costs could be much higher. If you live in a rental apartment, your landlord may charge a pet deposit that may not be refundable.
Am I trying to discourage you from adding a furry feline to your household? Absolutely not. Cats bring so much joy with their companionship and antics. I have five cats, and each has a unique personality and charm.
Two ways to help avoid “pet care panic”:
- Set aside $1,000-$2,000 that you can use for any pet emergencies.
- Comparison shop for your pet supplies
Prior to my being a foster mom for kittens, I worked with physicians for over 20 years as a CMA (certified medical assistant.) I enjoyed helping patients very much. However, what upset me was that some patients had a hard time paying for the prescriptions they needed. I’d wished that I could help patients with their prescription costs.
