[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 530986, member: 2196"] I cannot afford a crate right now because I looked online and they cost around $200. I already talked to my apartment manager and the pet deposit is $400. I have the $400 plus the $100 for the adoption fee. The adoption fee includeds spay or neuter, shots, and any medications the pet may need. $500 is what I planned on spending and it's what I have to work with until my next paycheck in two weeks. I do not have another $200 to spend on a crate right now. I have the initial $500 to spend and that's what I am going to do. I can easily afford vet bills with my income, especially since our rent just dropped down $200 a month and I will be getting another extra $250 or so in child support. I have more than enough to pay for a pet and all the necessesities. I am not getting a cat to teach my kids responisibilities. I was in sole charge of feeding and changing the litter box for our other cat and it's what I intend to do with this one as well. I have no problems caring for a pet on my own. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer it. As far as the sharing rooms thing goes, my daughter and I share the bedroom and my son has the livingroom. It may not be ideal but it works for us. Had I known I was going to get more child support I would have kept our two bedroom but at the time I didn't think I would be receiving any more money. Now we are locked into this place for eleven more months. We will be moving to a bigger place when the lease is up. [/QUOTE]
