I took Eli for his rabies vaccine today at Petco. It went very well and he did great.
I mentioned it to my sister-in-law and she asked me if the guy I worked with was going to adopt him. I told her that he backed out of it. Her response was "I knew you were going to keep him, I just knew it!!" I explained to her that I have been trying to find him a home. She told me to contact HEADS, the animal rescue group in our town and turn him over to them for placement. The only problem with that is, they want me to pay for him to get neutered before they'll take him. And he'll them be placed in a cage at PetSmart until he's adopted.
She said "You can't afford another cat! I've got a $350 vet bill to prove it!! (she allowed me to put Casey's final treatment on her credit card and make payments on it) That really pissed me off. I make payments on that bill every time I get paid.
I am going to be 50 in a month and really don't appreciate being treated like a child. I just said I had things to do and left. At least I take care of my cats. She's got a dog who looks like a pot-bellied pig that she never walks (she lets her out on their deck outside to pee and poop) And the dog has a sore on her leg that she had neglected for months!!!
I told her that if I'm going to have to spend the $50 to have him fixed, I might as well keep him seeing as I've already spent $100 between vet visits and vaccinations.
I had 6 cats before Casey died so what the hell is the difference????
I'm sorry, I guess I'm just having a little pity party tonight. Forgive me, but I needed to vent again.
Oh, and another thing...she, in front of a whole bunch of people said that I have absolutely no life or friends because I'm always on my computer. I told her that I have alot of friends on this site and it's about the only thing that is keeping me sane since moving out here to Michigan, leaving my friends and daughter behind.
