Step 1
Figure out a monthly kitten budget: how much you are able to - or willing to spend on your kitten each month. Cats are relatively inexpensive pets. Aside from a once-a-year vet checkup, your cat should be able to have food (wet and dry), litter, medicine, and toys for under $50 a month.

Step 2
Take advantage of holiday pet specials, deals, and markdowns at pet shops like Petco and Pet Supermarket. The best time to go is after Christmas or on Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving) because that's when all the major specials occur. That normally over-priced Advantage flea medicine can easily be found for half-off.

Step 3
Get free pet item samples. Stores and online venues are giving away anything from organic dry cat food to free cat beds, often with the absence of shipping costs. An online frugal living publication called "Wise Bread" offers daily deals and free pet samples are included almost all of the time.
-
Step 4
Take advantage of vet coupons. When your pet does get sick or its time for that annual check-up, the best thing to do is find and use vet coupons. They can be found online or in free print publications such as Coupon Book. If there are no Coupon Book drop-offs nearby, try searching the net for vet coupons. They can save you quite a bundle.

Step 5
If you're someone who enjoys dressing up your cat, start your search online. It's likely amazon, etsy, or overstock has what you're looking for and for a decent price.
