| I still cry over missing my first two cats. |
Moderate Temperatures and Overcast| Ashcroft Park Stud |
| I am conflicted on the outdoor cat thing. On the one hand it feels natural, on the other the risk to their lives and the birds is just too great for my liking. When I was a kid we had two cats attacked by foxes and neither one made it, despite my dear mum’s best efforts with some hefty vet bills. |

| Our deceased neighbour's cat sits waiting for Mum now whenever we get home bless him. He's not brave enough to venture over into our [Lily's] garden but he did go to visit the ponies with Mum once in the summer xD Meanwhile Lily can be found all over the place |

| Yeah, well. Still doesn't mean the rescue should have all access rights to show up when ever they please to do a home inspection. |
| God is Mighty Stable |
| Jericho It's probably because of how expensive testing, shots, and food is now a days |

| Ash, don't you have stray cats you could just pick up? 😂 though Ragdolls sound adorable! I'm sure part of the shelter fee is to A) make sure they're able to recoup *some* of the cost of caring for the animal and B) making sure the person is actually invested/able to care for it. If you can't afford $300 to adopt a dog, can you afford the yearly vet bills, the check ups, the inevitable emergency fees, etc.? |

| I'm also a little sticker shock at the cost of GSD. Granted it was over 11 years ago I got Ilsa, but I paid $600 for her. GSD now I can't find under $2500, and finding one for $2500 is rare, They are more often $3500+ |

| The vast majority of cats over here are allowed outdoors. Lily lived as an exclusively outdoor cat as per her choosing for about a decade until we finally let her move in with us |

| Ash Aww, someone else on here has a ragdoll kitten she got from a breeder. I guess I mixed y'all up, sorry |
| The Old Gods |
| See, I'd be okay with the cost because it supports the rescue...IF it wasn't on top of all the other absurd requirements |

| Void - I know right! Totally bonkers. They make it impossible round here. |

| Willow, she’s doing great. Totally spoiled princess. I’m afraid I don’t post any pictures of myself/my animals online, but rest assured she is a flourishing bundle of fluff ❤️ |

| All of our shelters come vetted but I felt some kind of way when that lady told me she didn’t have room for my super local feral kittens because she was waiting on cats from a rescue |
