Okay let me redo this and organize it and clarify it sorry about that...sorta ranting.
I mean if its fresh kitten no spay/neuter very little vet care 10 bucks is reasonable.
I'm saying what if you bought 500-800 dollar pet I don't think 150-200 is unreasonable if the cat is spayed/neutered and pretty much well breed well maintained cat. Now I'm not saying 100 is too low or that you should charge less. Which I guess I get it a lot more people are willing to put 200 or more into a dog than a cat because dogs are viewed to have more purposes than cats since dogs generally can be tagged as a watch-dog, guard-dog and other various reasons since dogs go out more and do stuff with the family more than cats do. Cats get tagged as pest control, there are probably a few roles cats are good at but don't get credited, like being an alarm clock.
Though it seems like all those people, don't realize that asking for 150 is rather small compare to 500 dollar bill which can rack up pretty easy in a single accident or a serious health issue. I mean are they going to do whats right for the cat? Maybe I'm being a bit harsh on some one with small pocket book I kinda have one too, which is why I don't have a pet right now. Oh Probably need to put a Rest in Peace sign for my Stormy...yeah this is defiantly not about my cat. I would hate if I ever had to re-home him since he had allergies.
Maybe I am bit wrong after all purpose of re-home ads are to find a good home for a pet so it doesn't go to the shelter, rescue or get put to sleep. So I guess as long as a person does ensure the pet gets a good home which is the main point of charging a fee then a larger fee or any fee doesn't really need to apply as long as the previous owner is fine with the outcome of their pet. Which I'm sure if I spent 100-700 on a kitten and 2 years latter I find out something horrible happened or I pass away I would be happy to know my cat went to a good home fee or no fee.
