Oopsie Pregnancy

[Anime Chick]

It is expected, at least by people who are honest and sincere. I remember a poster on Nextdoor who posted about her kittens and was asking what to set for the fee - a neighbor approached her in the midst of working out that detail and offered a rehoming fee, and said that the fee was to show good faith

Mm, thats why I wanted to set a good price. Something not too high but not too low. I'm no professional breeder so I doubt I could get a MASSIVE amount.

In my area (Baltimore/DC metro), average rehoming fees run between $25 and $50 per kitten. If I recall correctly, you're in a more rural area, so I believe that something like $25 is a realistic fee.

Well, I never actually stated where I was from. But yeah thats correct I guess... its a medium sized town. I don't live like... far out into the country with lots of fields or anything like that.

So you think $25 would be best then? Like I said, I don't wanna make it too high but also not too low.

You stated it in another thread earlier this year or late last year. Somehow it stuck in my brain.

Yes, $25 is reasonable.

Where did you find a washable heating pad?

What I mean is I never stated where I live. I actually intentionally never spoke it because I have anxiety issues. You may have saw it on GoGetFunding, cause the website forced my location to be viewable since it would show up on there when I originally posted the link up to try to get help for funding for Yukiko.

But I never mentioned it myself specifically. So thats probably where you saw it located.

On Amazon. They have some thats non-electric and some that are. The one I saw that was electric said you can remove the insides which contain the electrical stuff to wash it. I can give you a link if you like.

Oh, I have no idea where you actually live. No need to worry. I just remembered that it was rural; in that thread, you mentioned how far the vets are and how there's little public transportation.

Oh, yeah, I don't live in a city or anything. Theres some Lyft but not many people are driving them so they tend to be VERY unreliable and far as I've seen theres no actual 'bus stop', we have Greenway Van which you have to call WEEKS in advance to plan anything with... but its basically a medium-size town.

Thanks. I hadn't thought about removing the fancy velvet like covers, but yeah, you'd need to. Which one did you get?

I think $25 sounds very reasonable, for "just the kitten," without any shots, spay/neuters, etc. To be very frank, as much as it sickens me, few people would pay that much for an animal they want to use for some twisted purpose. They're going to look for "free to good homes" kittens offered by people who have no clue how to screen.

Right, thats part of why I am concerned about price.
I don't want some random creep to lie during the screening and then pay something thats too cheap where they can just sell it later on the black market for something or whatever else. I've heard horror stories about kittens being sold to science or to be used as bait for dog fights. So I want something that won't make people AVOID buying if they are legit people but also make people that are bad avoid paying that much.

I've never heard of them reselling for more than $30-35, and that's TOP dollar. If you charge $25, the profit margine is too low for them, and they will look elsewhere.

This is the heating pad.
I didn't buy it yet, so I can't give you any info, just going off what it says. But you can contact the seller to ask if you like.

I had actually considered before this doing $50 cause thats how much they adopt out kittens for around here at PetSense that had a few shots.

Reading this thread was much different than reading your other thread about adopting the feral. You seem to have lots of confidence and taken control despite the circumstances. I find that when I read about other members here takonn care of ferals and strays- that despite having next to no help taking care of the local ferals, they still do it. And as stressful as a litter of kittens may be, you seem like you are reaching out and getting some preparations for possible adoptions. Thats a big step.

If they have had their first shots, then $50 is reasonable. Be sure to have copies of the innoculation records and vet checks for adopters.

To be honest, I'm still really scared but despite everything, I feel its my responsibility to do this. I've been trying to prep for a while before I reached out here but no one could offer me any advice. Desperation for answers took over so I posted here.

I'll do everything I can to make sure this goes well.

Right. I'll have to save up money to the side for their vet bills too.
I have an unused notebook. I think all the stuff pertaining to this will be kept in there so its easier to keep track of.
