How much do a kitten cost food and vet wise?

the kitten itself can range from 10$ to 5,000$. It depends on the breed and where you get it. If you're getting your typical pet-store display window kitten, probably about 30$.

Kitten will need shots to keep it healthy. Depending on how many and what kinds you get, the lowest it will really cost is 150$. Rabies shots are REQUIRED and kitten will need an examination first.

If anything happens to kitten, be prepared. My cat was sat on by a guest. The ball-joint in it's hip snapped off and required ball-joint removal surgery. It cost 1,000$. My cat, however, is better than he's ever been.

Sometimes cats are sick and you won't know it. Another of my kittens went into diabetic shock, plummeting to a blood-sugar level below 100. It was in a coma and would likely have died. She's alive and well and that was another 1,000$.

Kitten will need to be spayed/nutered. Plan on another 200$

Food- good quality and healthy food will run you about 10$. Kitten will need to be fed 2-3 times a day.

Rough total: 370$ for the kitten and basic vet bills (not including injury and accident), plus about 10$ a week for kitten food.

Always make sure you have enough to either put the cat down or somewhere around 500$ for emergency, life-saving surgery. Cats are notorious for appearing healthy one day and dying the next. This is -rare-, but can happen. You should -be prepared-, but not paranoid.
