Just stamp "SUCKER" on my forehead again! (UPDATE POST # 40)

While sitting at the vets, this woman comes in crying with this gorgeous silver Main Coon tabby. To make a long story short, my hubby found out that she was having her cat PTS because it has had diarrhea for about 2 weeks and she couldn't afford to have him vetted. Make sense to any of you??? My question is, "How can she afford to have him PTS and not vetted?"
So I told him to ask her if we could take him and take care of him, since we rescue cats. She said no, because he was only use to her and didn't like other people. Anyway, after I was finished at the counter registering my Chipper and paying the bill for Lindy, she said thank you for the offer but no. I said, "That's okay, if you want to kill your cat rather than give him to me to have him taken care of, that's your problem not mine, but if you should change your mind, I will be outside." Not more than 10 seconds, later she came out and surrendered him to me.
His name is Nino, is 5 years old, and is FULLY DECLAWED.
I took some pictures of him while waiting to see the vet.


When I got home from the vets there was a message on my machine from the woman, because I gave her my phone number. She said 2 other reasons why she couldn't keep Nino was because her doctor advised it because of her asthma and she couldn't keep affording the food. I asked her what kind of food he was on and he is on Science Diet C/D because he had crystals in his urine from 2 years ago. She also said that she tried to find another home for him, but no one wanted him because he was long hair. Then she said that if I had any problems with him, that she would take him back and try to find a way to pay me back. "HUH????" I said, "No, I don't think there will be a problem."

His examination went well and we decided to keep him at the vets for observation for 2 days, so they could get a sample of his stool to find out what is wrong with him. We didn't want to bring him home right away, in case he has something contagious. I wouldn't be surprised at all when I call the vets on Monday, that he does not have diarrhea.
