maybe RC donates to spca..  biggrin.gif

RC is not cheap..

I have been browsing pet shops around klang valley for the past few months, since i have adopted a kitty,

and prices of food does vary alot from shop to shop...

and I also found out when talking to pet food distributor @ the recent expo kucing..

many food are actually not that expensive, but the distributors are controlling the prices...

and they dont want shops to simply mark down their products.. makes it look cheap..

so if any of you guys found out a shop that sells a brand that is much lower.. please dont go tell other shops, and don't tell the distributor..  biggrin.gif

the shop are actually giving us consumer a generous discount.

yeah. i think they do, because they also give free RC bowl and 2 pack of food and starter pack. im trying to claim 1 free bag of food. even today went to another pet store seems different price. if we continue her on RC, then i think ill start looking online on lazada for discount or voucher. then maybe can get for 20% cheaper. this type of thing, buy a lot also not really worried hahah.

which RC are you planning to feed?

when i go pet shop i ask just to see how low can i find the price..

i find that most cat food, they tend to put alot fat , ie fat content is on the high side, like over 15%,

maybe it is purposely done, cos most cats are indoors and dont get exercise alot, so when the cat gets fat,

the owner will wana look for low fat food, and the low fat food is always priced much more expensive than high fat food..

n tht seems to be @&^%(& ridiculous , cant they reduce the fat in the first place?

hahahah. im currently feeding the kitten one (2nd stage) or whatever its called. after this bag finish (and hopefully second free bag from RC) then will see what food to move on to. i guess for kitten, they need more fat right? since they are much more active. but i guess need to match personality and food type.

you feed your cat other food? like cooked chicken or fish?

I'm referring to adult cat food, not kitten food.

kitten food is high fat yes, but i think when the kitty is over 6mths if still continue on kitten food, and it gets fat, after neuter, the fat will tend to stay on..

well i would like to feed my cat home cooked food, as it is the best way, but i think kibble is cheaper in the long run and more time saving..

currently feeding the kitty brit adult salmon.. after surveying to check which food is most berbaloi .. biggrin.gif

when buy 8kg, the brit price is 13.75RM per KG which is not very bad, and looking at the ingredient is not that bad as well. ..

later i will post, what i think about cat food price and the ingredient.. biggrin.gif

oh the RC one is for up to 1 year so i just beli. haha. but i guess after i finish what stock i got, will need to survey for other types. but yeah. if 13.75/kg that is quite reasonable. will look forward to your review.

RC is one of the sponsor of SPCA, as such think SPCA need to hand out RC starter kit and think would suggest adopter to register also with RC. Think RC is doing this as community service, giving adopter some support with free food or such. In addition it gain RC good marketing and good corporate image as well.

SPCA think would also received some sort of returns from RC on every RC Starter Kit handed out, maybe more RC food to SPCA. This will greatly help SPCA as feeding so many mouth there.

Beside RC, notice SPCA do mix up whatever cat food available to them. Saw some PowerCat the last time I visit. Many mouth to feed and not enough to go around, so those that can do support by giving donation to SPCA...

yeah on their site, SPCA sponsored by 2-3 food companies. i guess they will alternate depending on requirements of an animal. and if not enough, will use whatever is donated as well. its good marketing for them as people would like to continue the same food at least initially.

see many on the FB complain they stopped taking strays even if donation is given. it makes sense lah. if too many then how to cope. have to house them and feed them. in the end stuff them all together then complain not proper care given lah abuse lah. cant please everyone. what i can say after my visit is that its a nice place and animals in good condition.

people are always up in arms about kill shelters. I say that in an ideal world, we wouldn't even have shelters. If people would stop being so stupid and irresponsible with their animals, we wouldn't have so many that some would need to be euthanized.

for more atas breeds (persian, bengal, etc.) i think was RM250. dunno why... maybe just a way to extra donation? anyways. RM5 to go in to take a look and play with the animals. they alls o friendly.

Is that really possible to adopt Bengal for only RM250? as far as I know people don't send rare exotic breeds of cats to animal shelters just like that. even for plain looking Persian/British Shorthair/Scottish Fold they usually sold for at least RM500-RM1000 or maybe more

i dunno. thats what the guy said. if you are lucky, then possible i guess. my friend had a litter of bengal and just give away to people who want to adopt as that litter no one purchase. so maybe some people maybe just dump at spca instead of putting more effort? cause to neuter your purebreed also a bit kesian haha.

maintenance for cat:
Food: Around 40-80 depending on food quality. Whiskas cheapest.
Cat Litter: Around 20-30 per month.

1 time costs:
Cat toys: RM5-50
Cat Litter box: 20-40 depend on size.
Cat carrier: 50-100 depend on size (can borrow from friends i guess)
Best to have cat tree, but not vital. they will scratch carpet or sofa. hahah. mine loves the cheap RM4 ikea bathroom mat. so we didnt get a tower yet. but got a small scratching post in the meantime. he also doesnt layan..

for spca. just go there (TUESDAY-SUNDAY 10am-4pm). give RM5 donation and then they allow you to walk around. then you just cari lah. if you find the cat/dog you want, just tell the person there and they will assist you. RM150 for normal mixed breed will cover neuter, 3 vaccination and 3 deworming. you can choose whatever cat is there. no bookings. so if someone brought in persian/bengal then you can adopt lah. but RM250 for breed.

alternatively you can check out petfinder to look. but at SPCA at least can play with the cats and decide.
