Hi everyone!
I've been presented with a couple of opportunities and I need some input because I can't make up my mind!
Most of you may remember I found an adult tortie Persian named Annie in Arizona that needs a good home. I've been talking to the foster for several weeks. She is back from England now and called this morning. It seems her friend can't fly the kitty here now so if I want her I'd have to make a 8 hour trip to pick her up. So I'd be paying a $100 adoption fee for Annie, plus driving & hotel for one night. I figure it would all come to about $200. Which I am willing to do but it wouldn't be easy for me.
The other option that has been presented me is there is a lady in Wyomming, just 2 hours from here in Salt Lake, that has 6 week old Persian kittens. She is selling them for $50-$300 depending on the kitten and whether or not you want papers with them. The one I would be interested in is a tortie kitty and she wants $100 for her. Without papers. Which is fine. I don't need papers since I wouldn't be showing or breeding anyway. Of course later I'd end up having to vaccinate the kitty and have her spayed etc. which Annie has already had. This is SOOOO hard!
I think I'm going to drive out to see the kitten in Wyomming tomorrow since it is just a 2 hour drive. She is too young to leave mamma anyway. If I like her, I can put a deposit on her and when the kitten is ready the lady said she would bring the kitten to me.
The lady (with the kittens) has a very sick mother and is caring for her. Plus she has a farm. So that is why she is selling them at a reduced price.
What do you guys think?? I don't know what to do! This is such a hard decission! I wish I could just go get Annie but I'm not sure it makes sense and it's SOO far. I wish I knew someone there who could help in some way. Anyway, sorry this is a little long but I need advice!
