I only breed casually (I have two breeders and that may change after the next kitten - their second) but otherwise I keep pets.
Now, going by pet food cost I can keep one pet cat fed for 20 months for 1,600L. That is almost 2 years.
The permapet is either 1800 or 1500 depending on if you perma them before 120 days or after.
The sale was nice (I missed it as I didn't get my monthly check until after the fact), but at the current cost I'm more willing to pay for food then a permapet kit for each cat.
Now, if the kits permapet say 3-5 cats it might be worth it.
This may not be a popular opinion but I want to know what all of you think.
I think this is a very popular opinion. I myself cannot afford to permapet my cats when they are old enough. I sell cats (mostly at auction) but I don't get enough money to feed the ones I have and to permapet the ones who are too old. So far I have paid to permapet three but there are more that will come of age and I wish that I could afford to permapet them. The thing is too, that it would be in the kittycats companies best interest to offer the permapet at a cheeper rate because then more people would be permapetting their cats instead of sending them off to managery for which we get 50 kittydollars for per cat. I'd rather have my cat permapetted.
