Why don't you adopt from your local RSPCA?

By the time you vaccinate and neuter a kitten you buy from someone, you've
spent more than 60 pounds.  ;)

If you can't afford 60 pounds for a cat, you may want to reconsider getting
one. They take time, energy, and MONEY. Food, toys, vet bills, and so on.
If 60 pounds to save a life is too much for you, perhaps you'd like a fish or
a hamster. They make lovely pets and are very cheap to care for.

Sure. Goldfish. The little ones kids win at carnivals.  ;)

they are the most difficult fish to keep.

Whatever. I'm not going to argue about fish on a cat group. Actually, I'm not
going to argue about fish. They're tasty. They can make decent pets. The
exotic ones CAN be expensive. That's all I have to say on it.
The point was that 60 pounds is nothing when you're talking pet care for an
animal that can live to be 15 to 20 years old. People need to get a pet that
fits their lifestyle. Money is part of that decision.

Hey, I agree.  Cats don't need to eat fish.

How much is 60L in USA?

I've spent that several times on rescue cats. Cats run $60
at local shelters. Unless the SPCA is having a "sale" and then
it's $25.

60 GBP = $107 USD.

Seems like a lot, but everything is relative. A bag of cat food that costs
$10 here costs $20 there, at least according to a quick search I did.
I went here.
http://www.petplanet.co.uk/category.asp?dept_id=35
I looked at the 3KG bad of Pro Plan listed at 11.60 GBP.
11.60 GBP = $20.70 USD
3KG = 6.6lbs
A 6lb bag of pro plan would cost me around $11 USD at my local store.

Our shelters run anywhere from $50 in the city (kill shelter) to $150 at some
of the no-kill, non-profit shelters (the rare ones that are cageless, have
lots of volunteers, scheduled playtimes, and so on). I'd say $75 is pretty
average.
Considering the fact that when I had my cat spayed, it cost me $150, I'd say
getting an already neutered cat for less than that is a bargain. Plus costs
of vaccinations, wormings, and so on.

Our kittens are $100 - altered, vaccinated, and Revolutioned, and tested for
FeLV.

Consider a neuter runs around $80, spays a little more, vaccinations run
about $15 a pop for just FVRCP - if we have them long enough, they get
boostered as well. FeLV tests aren't cheap, either.

If you won't discuss fish, how about discussing your moral
inconsistency?  People who are caring and generous to one species,
while being callous and inddiferent to another puzzle me.  Can you
offer any logical support for your stance?

Sure.
Because I CAN.

Cool, eh?
