That is a wonderful choice. Those cats you got were faced with euthanasia, and now they have a great life with you.
Kill shelters have some of the best deals anywhere. Here where I live, some of them run 'specials' where the critter only costs $20-$30 to adopt. That includes heartworm test, immunizations, spay/neuter, and often a little gift pack of food samples provided by dog food companies.
Some dogs are 'pulled' by rescues from those very shelters, and then usually the cost rises and there are more hoops to jump through.
