Hi there,
For two kittens, you should expect to spend between £40 and £85 a month on average for everyday expenses. This includes:
* Food: around £30–£60 a month for both, depending on the type and quality of the food.
* Cat litter and its maintenance: roughly £12–£25 a month, depending on the type used and how much they go through.
On top of that, you need to factor in vet bills, which are particularly high in the first year: microchipping, vaccinations, neutering, and worming and flea treatments. It’s also wise to set aside a small amount each month into a savings pot for any unexpected medical care.
If the kittens are adopted from a rescue centre or the RSPCA, find out which treatments have already been done or are included in the adoption fee (microchipping, vaccinations, neutering, etc.).
The budget can vary quite a bit depending on the kittens' needs and the food you choose, but it’s important not to underestimate vet costs, which are often the most unpredictable expense.
Best of luck,
Inès
