I took Emily and Callie to Animal Care Services Friday for shots and hopefully so vet care. I don't qualify. You have to be beyond dirt poor to qualify. I was willing to pay more and they said no. They have their own poverty guidelines that are similar to the fed guidelines. 11 000 for a one person household. Yikes. That's 30 hours per week at 50 weeks per year at minimum wage.

My friend might have to "adopt" some of my cats to get them care. She and her new husband qualify.

Yikes. It is scary to think of how little people must earn to qualify for anything.
