Cats can be enormously cheap. Tins of cat food are expensive - but buying in bulk from the vet is significantly cheaper... We're talking maybe a $10-$30 investment. IAMS is good stuff - ou can get a variety of different sized bags. Bigger equals cheaper.
Cat litter is more expensive than food. I'd recommend getting the style that clumps, and cleaning the box daily - it lasts longer, and you never have to much out the Aegean catbox. Also, keeps your cat healthier.
Did I say your cat? Sounds pretty good, eh?
Regarding size - some cats get huge. We once had one named Flame who was 26 lbs, and lean. But some remain almost kitten like their whole lives. My neighbor in Alexandria had one that worked the neighborhood with her "oh what a cute kitten I am" look - she weighed maybe 6 lbs for at least 12 years.
The big question is: is she fixed? if it's a male cat, it's cheap. If it's a female cat, it's expensive. Some places will do it for free - but you have to hunt.
And, you have friends willing to sponsor your cat - just don't make her wear those little penzoil stickers, okay?
