Not really. I spent over $400 for giving ALL shots, worming and spay/neuter a litter of kittens from my Ocicat. By the time you add it all up, yes it can be expensive for multiple cats.
My vet gave me a discount by not charging for the office visit so I did save some :) This is why you should neuter/spay your cat so you don't have to do this all for kittens before they are rehomed. Actually the $75 per kitten is about right for males (females are higher).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
