Can I get a free domestic shorthair to a good home in Suffolk, or one under £100?

Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing domestic shorthair cats in Suffolk today, the published fees run from £75 at Suffolk Animal Rescue to £195 at Phoenix Rehoming. Some are under £100; the profile shows each animal's fee. For the other rescue, see the rescue's own page.
