We've calculated the annual costs of cat litter, food, vet visits, and more, and found that you can keep a cat for as little as $277 the first year and $162 every successive year.

Little luxuries like vet checkups, treats, good food, and new toys will add a few hundred dollars to that annual figure, bringing us closer to the ASPCA 's estimate.
