When we found the kittens in the back yard (4 total of which I kept 2) I was lucky that my vet offered me a multipet discount of 10% which they still apply to all my other cats. That discount helped with the vaccinations and deworming. They also worked out a deal with me to spay the momma for $50 which is more than 50% off the regular price. Another thing I did was only have one of the kittens tested. Since they hadn't been exposed to other cats I thought it would be okay to do that. The one kitten was negative so I left it at that and all has been okay and it's now two years later.

I didn't charge the lady who took the other two kittens an adoption fee but it was because my husband worked with her and knew she was a huge cat lover and had other spoiled cats at home. If I had advertised and had a stranger adopting them I would have charged them an adoption fee to make sure they were serious and to help recoup my costs.
