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 ❤️ |
The Night Circus |
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 |
Cadence Farms |
I'm ok with rescues charging a few hundred, because generally they paid for the spay/neuter. |
The Old Gods |
?? You'd think that not allowing the cat outdoors would be the requirement |
God is Mighty Stable |
Ash How's she doing? Do you have any more pictures of her? |
MakeEm Fancy |
Thats insane. I spent $60 for my shepherd mix. Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped |
Ashcroft Park Stud |
I wanted to adopt a cat, but the cat charities here (UK) have completely unrealistic requirements. Like, constant access to outdoors and a fully cat proofed garden. Not happening. So I had no choice to buy, got my ragdoll from a lovely breeder - and she’s an angel. |
