All of my cats were "free", either from people giving away kittens or dumping them in my back yard. Of course "free" means paying for shots, spay/neuter, microchip, dental, etc.
The local shelter where I volunteer has a $100 adoption fee for dogs and cats. This includes spay/neuter, shots up to date, and microchip. The website doesn't have anything else on the list but I know the packet that goes with each animal has an insurance brochure and I think 30 or 60 days of insurance.
The fee is reduced 20% for senior citizens and for the "Lonely Hearts Club"--any cat or dog who has been waiting more than 90 days for adoption. They also run specials 2 or 3 times a year: "Big Black Dog Month", "Black Cat Month" "Old Fogeys Month".
