5. Yes, around here, $75 for a kitten would be a bargain.

It's been over 4.5 years since we adopted Willow, but at that time, the going rate for an adult cat was $200, and kittens were even more.

Also, the fact that this person couldn't even be bothered to fill out the adoption application in ten days time sounds pretty flakey to me. When we've adopted from rescues, we couldn't fill the paperwork out fast enough. Once we decided on the cat we wanted, we didn't want to take a chance of losing our "place in line," so to speak.

That person sounds disorganized at best and flakey as a box of Wheaties at worst. I hope it's not too late for those 2 little guys to find a good home, but at the same time, I feel like that one would have been so-so at best.
