WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH FOR MY KITTEN?
IN QLD, THE COSTS
FOR GOOD MANAGEMENT ARE AS FOLLOWS:CALCULATED
AS AVERAGES
DESEXING:
$95-$150
MICROCHIPPING: $45-$60 BOTH THE ABOVE ARE NOW LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS VACCINATIONS:
$45-$70
THUS AT MINIMUM,
WHEN THE KITTEN IS BORN, IT WILL COST APPROX $200 MEDICAL
RELATED COST AT THE VET PER KITTEN. FOOD COSTS
per litter over 12 weeks: $126 MILK, $175MEAT, DRY FOOD$100
COST PER KITTEN: worked on 4 kittens per litter $376
which is $94 per kitten. Add to this the cost of
litter and cleaning products and it is easily $120 per
kitten (instead of $94).
THEREFORE THE
CONSERVATIVE COST OF BRINGING UP A GOOD QUALITY HEALTHY
HAPPY KITTEN IS APPROX $401.00 PER kitten. We have
not yet costed petrol costs x 2 trips to vet, show costs,
advertising, internet and web site costs and there is no
mention of labour and so on.
THE COST
OF GOOD QUALITY FOOD.
AT KYAPARK we
feed ROYAL CANIN, kangaroo meat, chicken mince, milk
mixture, and some additives.
THE AVERAGE COST
OF A BAG OR ROYAL CANIN KITTEN IS $95-$119 PER BAG, eg $10
per kg!. AT KYAPARK ALL OUR STUDS, QUEENS AND BABIES RECEIVE
ON DEMAND ROYAL CANIN KITTEN DRY FOOD . AN
AVERAGE LITTER OF KITTENS (and of course mum with them) WILL
MOTOR THROUGH A 10KG BAG WELL WITHIN THE 12 WEEKS.
KYAPARK ALSO
FEEDS QUALITY DICED KANGAROO MEAT (FOR TEETH AND PROTEIN)
AND CHICKEN MINCE. KANGAROO IS APPROX $5. PER KG.
MY KITTENS ADORE KANGAROO MEAT AND TOGETHER WITH MUM
GOBBLE APPROX A KILO A DAY IN GENERAL.
ADD AVG
$150.00 FOR MEAT (SEE CALCULATION CRITERIA BELOW.
LITTER COSTS:
APPROX $1.00 PER KG. At KyaPark we change each and every
litter tray each and every day! No exceptions. This
decreases the risk of disease, flies and other nasties.
All litter in each tray is completely discarded each
morning, and each tray is scooped every evening. on average
each adult cat uses approx 1-2kgs litter per day. Kitten
litter trays use upwards of 2 kgs per day as they are
completely changed twice a day.
ESSENTIAL MILK:PETAS
MILK MIX (glop, my version)
1 can evaporated full fat milk $2.50, 1 can water, 1 Tblspn
Praise Mayonaise, 2-3 Tblspns Ski Divine full fat yoghurt, 1
egg yolk. approx
cost per day $3. again mum and babies have this every
day throughout the kittens growing period 12weeks, until
they leave home If we halve this figure to get a
rough average it works to $126 over the 12 weeks.
meat costs:calculated
on the mum eating 1/2 kg per day the last 3 weeks of her
pregnancy and the 1st 6 weeks of kittens life eg until
weaning, and 1kg per day for the last 6 weeks of kitten eg
until 12 weeks of age and the mum as well. Kittens at Kyaprk
are weaned at approx 10 weeks, all being well.The chicken
meat is used more as an additive for fat content (there is
not enough fat content in kangaroo alone), and has not been
costed at all but is $2.20per kg
On average
kittens range fro $500 to $650 each
