I will speak with Helene about these. There is already a nice amount of money gone into the already set up account so we will use that for Gizzie as I believe there is enough there now to look after her needs completely. But maybe one of these other ones can be used for the other pets. Thanks Isabel.Quote:

Hope that clears things up a little. We really don't want this thread becoming like the other one did. Thanks. :)

But again, that's just my opinon too. Regardless, I am glad the the cat will be spayed and get the care she needs. Good luck with your fund drive. I hope those other websites that were posted will be able to help provide care for all of the animals.
Well with all honesty I don't think the thread would have been closed if there wasn't a problem with it but that is no longer the issue. People are entitled to their opinions.Quote:

If one of the others that Isabel provided us with is more suitable and cheaper then we will look into those for the others. I do thank you for your concern for the animals. Even though sometimes we all don't agree it doesn't mean we all can't get along.
Thanks again. :)

Well I hope she and the other pets get what they need. I know what its like to not be able to do simple things for your pets. Im trying to save up for mine right now too. (3 cats! eek) So I know how it is. My understanding is the daughter we are talking to correct? I guess its good to know that the child is trying to be more responsible at this time. I dont understand people sometimes. If you get an animal, esp a female kitty, you should know what will happen in time. (heat and or pregnancy)
Well, finally someone understands me. And I knew these things were going to happen, and we planned on getting everyone spayed, but things came up, and we had to use our money to save our house and pay bills. And we're still in debt, so that's why I asked for help.Quote:

Is Gizzie getting spayed going to immediatly stop the behavior that so annoyed your mother? Do either of you realize that when she gets home she's going to need MORE care for awhile? The intentions are more than honorable but the concerns are every bit as valid.
I'm under the understanding that it was requested to be closed??Quote:

I'm not donating, but I did PM Bri and I have offered to send some supplies down to her. I'm not heartless you know. Gosh, I still have Ally here with me after all the hell she's put me through!
I have spoke with Bri extensively about this and she does know it will not immediately stop and that after surgery care will be needed. so they most definately know these things. And you are right your concerns are every bit as valid. Thank you for being concerned. This would not be pettalk without them.Quote:

I donate where I can, but many times that goes on my home equity line of credit... so up goes my mortgage payment, but I try to help people out.Quote:

No one wants to see anyone getting taken advantage I am sure. And it is rather upsetting that mom doesn't want any part of the whole thing. But there are things no one knows anything about so cutting herself off maybe her answer to the issues. I do agree that Bri should no have to be the adult in this situation but all too many time the child takes on that role. I know..I have been there done that but that is a different story.Quote:

I am pretty sure not I or anyone else her could think you are heartless considering all you do for the kitties you help and Ally. I imagine not many people would keep Ally or any other animal around after being attacked several times unpervoked.
Thank you for helping Jenn. It is very much appreciated.

The other girls still have a couple months since they are going on 4 months. I am going to try my hardest to get Snow done this coming week. Remember when she ran away after I had been gone for a few days? Im scared she could have gotten pg again so it has to get done, NOW. I have no way to know either way.
Emily, sent you a PM. :)

WONDERFUL NEWS!
Skye is worm free! :D
