Can You Adopt a Cat on a Tight Budget?
Adopting a cat doesn't have to be expensive. With smart budgeting and the right resources, even those on a tight income can provide a loving, healthy home for a feline companion.
Little Violet is a petite, loving cat, approximately 2 years old, with a loud purr and a big heart. She adores people, especially being picked up and snuggled. Despite a permanent limp from a past injury, it doesn't slow her down; she loves to play and can jump. Violet gets along wonderfully with other cats and would thrive in a calm home without young children or dogs, where she can be cherished.
