I have 3 little grey ferals outside my door every morning (and evening). They get the cheapest food available, wet and dry and a bowl of water. Their coats glow with health! Now, perhaps that’s because of the outdoor life but I think a nice home might be more important that expensive cat food. But vet care IS expensive.
“But vet care IS expensive.”
Our vet offers discounts during a “dental month” each year. The cat and both dogs all go together. It’s a small house payment at checkout time.
