The RSPCA has extended its popular\u00a0 \u201cMake Us An Offer\u201d cat promotion until the end of April.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was definitely a success but we still need to rehome more adult cats so the promotion will be extended. We sincerely thank everyone who decided to enrich their home by getting an animal from the RSPCA,\u201d spokesman Michael Beatty said.<\/p>\n

The promotion ran at the weekend and simply meant that people could nominate what they wanted to pay for the cat.<\/p>\n

Mr Beatty provided a rough guide to the amount the RSPCA invests in each cat before they can find their \u201cfurever\u201d home:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Desexing<\/td>\n$110-200<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Vaccinations<\/td>\n$50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Microchipping<\/td>\n$40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Worming<\/td>\n$20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Flea Treatments<\/td>\n$11<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Food<\/td>\n$38<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Health Check<\/td>\n$50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe total care cost for an adult cat is $369 and our usual adoption fees range from $180 – $199 for cats and of course all pets are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, worm and flea-treated before they\u2019re put up for adoption,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

“But now you can nominate an adoption fee and take your new best friend home!”<\/p>\n
