She charged $25 a day for both cats & had to give the diabetic 2 shots a day. So, I'd say for 1 cat w/no medical issues $5-$10 a week is reasonable. You are very kind.

If you didnt then I see no need to charge her. If she offers you money thats your own decision to make on wether or not to take it but I feel as long as this lady is supplying you with the necassary items to care for the cat then I feel you should do it for free. From one animal lover to another. Im sure when she can get back on her feet she will gladly offer you compensation for caring for her cat. Again you have to consider why this lady is between homes. Most likely due to lack of funds. Consult with your husband as to why he feels you should ask for the money..if its just because your enjoying the company of a cat then i'd stand up for what you feel is right for the situation. Its ultimately your decision though. Go with what your gut says. Did you have intentions of receiving pay for taking in the ladies the cat in the first place?

If the lady pays for the food and litter, it's like you have a free pet cat. I wouldn't charge her anymore than that. Cheers. Just charge her your expenses.

It seems the lady really cares for her cat as she has provided you with the necessary supplies. You nourish your own soul by helping someone with a problem without any recompense. Tell her to donate the money to a rescue organisation or a humane society. What you give freely to the universe will come back to you in good measure.. Follow your own heart and not your husband’s.

Don't feel selfish for wanting pay. I think you may want to sit down with the woman, yourself, and your husband so you can find a price that everyone likes. Of course, if you don't want to do that, I say that 5-10$ is a good amount. You are kind to want to help this woman. Don’t feel selfish for wanting pay.
