Yes, there seems to be no rush for anyone to adopt them. If you let the vet know you want the black one, maybe they’ll let you owe them the chip fee until you have the money. After all, they’re paying to feed it!
I will check with them later about letting me owe them, but not until I have a litter box, litter and enough food for the month. I figure the food will run about $30 and haven’t checked on the litter and box, but since I’m not going anywhere the next two days, I won’t have any real clue. I pulled it up online week or two ago and seem to recall it would cost about $20 for the box and litter.
All of that is more than I can handle at the moment.
