| When you adopt a cat or kitten from Snowflake Animal Rescue, your pet
will have recieved tests and vaccinations as appropriate for his or her age,
deworming, and will have been spayed or neutered . |
|
You might still need to get the second Distemper or Leukemia vaccination
from your veterinarian, as well as the Rabies vaccination when you are adopting
a young kitten. However, as you can see, the cost of adopting from Snowflake
Animal Rescue is much less than the cost of getting
a "free" kitten and paying for all the necessary veterinary care.

|
| We are able to keep our adoption fees "below cost" because we are an all
volunteer organization and we work very hard to at fund raising to make up the
difference. (So please support our bake sales, buy our cookbooks, Christmas
cards, and all our other, hopefully creative, means of helping us care for these
very loving and lovable animals!). |
