The Basic Cost to
Care for a Cat or Dog Before Adoption
In order to provide the best
possible care for each cat or dog before adoption many costs
are incurred. These are the basic costs (no special need
animals) to the RVHS to get an animal ready to be adopted.

figures also do not include the cost of food or litter the cost
of the cleaning the cat rooms and kennels and doing laundry.

of care. We thank you for your support helping to make it possible
