Kelley,
Do you also work/volunteer for a cat rescue group? I wonder how many in
this group do...it would be interesting to know. The price you quoted, for 2
cats, sounds darn reasonable...it would be a lot more here on the East Coast

For someone like you, it does not decrease their value, but many take them on a
whim and then realize they have to clean boxes, feed them and take them to the
vet. Bottom line, it is easier to just dump them or give them to someone else
to deal with and then they dn't want them either.
