Re: What pet do you have? 4 dogs: roxy (shepherd mix), einstein (border collie mix), mila (pitbull mix), ralph (chihuahua mix)
3 cats: buddha (short hair, gray), sumo (long hair, black, missing 1 eye, may go blind in the other if I can't get his surgery soon enough), diego (medium hair, black & white tabby, missing 1 eye)
2 rats: penny (dark gray) & bleu (light gray).
Needless to say - any savings that I can scrape up will help. Especially right now. Just got 2 of my kitties neutered. One that's missing an eye needs a surgery that will be anywhere from $1k-$2k. Not sure yet. My dogs just got in a fight costing me $600 to get one of their legs stitched up at the emergency vet about a week ago.
All 3 kitties are part of a litter of 4 that I rescued and found an animal rescue to take them once they were old enough. Sure enough - they're old enough and all of a sudden that rescue isn't answering my calls, etc. I only got a home for one of them (who wants cats who need future surgeries, etc?) and now have the other 3.
I'm a little overwhelmed, but (as much as my mother tells me to) I won't give them up, they're my babies. In the end, I'll be fine. |
