How is it that in an ad for free kittens

[KitchenWitch]

the kittens end up costing $65 a piece? I have no issue paying for kittens but don't post an ad for free kittens and then say in the ad that they are $65.

1. In advertising terms, that's called the "lost leader"

2. same thing happened to me when I found my lil kitten

on Craigslist a few weeks ago. the young lady came back with a $35 adoption fee, which she had not disclosed in the ad, I was a little pissed off but in the end we paid it. The girl is really sweet, takes in alot of animals and takes care of them on her own dime until she finds them a home. we gave her $40 for my lil monster and he is really a sweetie pie. I told her I would help her with donations in the future too.

3. Kittys

Maybe that is their fee to get into the 'Fur Ball' :shrug: :shrug: :hi:

4. Perhaps they want you to pay for shots and whatnot?

The kitten might be free, but it might already be in debt...

7. Good thing it's not an older cat

You could get stuck with its student loans!

5. 2 reasons:

1. Keeps the bunchers and abusers away. May not actually take your $65 when you go to pick them up;

2. May have already vetted them (shots, spay/neuter, etc) and are just looking to get their money back.

6. they are free

once you pay the $65

the rest is free! :P
