"Pet Angel Fund for Spaying Gizzy et al"

[Grace]

Well, I'm guessing if they just had their electric shut off, she hasn't accumulated that much in savings. We don't know the who the employer is, or what her salary is. You can't really assume things. I teach. The average teacher salary in PA is about $48,000./yr. That figure is what tenured teachers, on average of 10+ years, make. So, you have to look at the facts and not go on just "averages". Assuming isn't going to help either side... and you know what they say about assumptions.

Hopefully they will be able to find $6.75.

I'm not assuming anything. I stated the facts about nurses salaries in Tennessee. She did not dispute.

Well, not to be argumentative, but unless you personally know that her mom gets that actual salary, you are assuming. Salaries stated for states are, on the norm, based on averages, meaning there are higher, and there are lower, and the middle is the average. Either way, it's more than likely not Bri's business to post her mom's salary online. I wouldn't do it. If they are hurting for cash right now, let's just leave it at that, unless you want to go ask her mom for a copy of her last paystub, which I can't see her mom reacting to positively, lol.

Truthfully, the amount I put down is quite a bit lower than the average for Tennessee. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. I have no idea what she makes, and would never ask. I do know what I made as a nurse before I retired.

My point is - for the price of $6.75 this poor cat might not get medical care. That is outrageous to me.

Um, have you been paying no attention to what I wrote? They won't do the FeLV without the test, and we're not getting the bordetella, so there is enough in the fund.

Apparently Bri's mom said that she will take Gizzie to the vet when the appointment is made and pick her up she is just not having any part in all the rest of it. Don't understand why she is willing to take her but not help with making a phone call. But really it is impossible to understand some people's reasonings.

That's good to know! Thank you!

Indeed. Some are just baffling!

[kittycats_delight]

Grace...her mom is not working steadily. So she doesn't make a whole lot and due to extenuating circumstances that are personal to Bri and her mom her job is not stable. She has to take what she can. Obviously if they are losing electricity and on food stamps her pay is far from $40,000 a year. I don't think the government would put them on food stamps if she was making that much.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

I am usually one of the first to put my hand in my pocket to help out (a fool and her money etc...etc...) but this post has left me entirely stumped......

Its not clear how much is needed and how much has been raised and what treatment is going ahead - or am I just being a bit dense?

[Pawsitive Thinking]

It's rather personal and then everyone would just hate me more.

No one here hates you , silly girl. We are all genuinely concerned for you and your pets.

If you read the thread from top to bottom you will see that people are trying to help you but are getting very confused about the whole issue - I know I am

[Roxyluvsme13]

I don't think being called rude is helpful, but okay then.

If they don't charge for the exam then we're all set to go and I will make the appointment tomorrow.

[sandragonfly]

sigh roxy, didn't you just said you'll make one tomorrow yesternight?

well, I made a call anyway, and they will be expecting you (gimzo willis) next thursday morning between 8 - 9 for shots and spay. for all of the details they wanted, I've tried and gave out the best of my knowledge - reasons, breed, color, and age.. they would still want a specific birthdate of the cat and phone number where gizzy can be reached if you have them.

maybe when you all get there, you can explain to them that all of these will be paid by funds - hopefully all of checks will get in time by that day.

and if your mother doesn't agree with that date/time, please let me know and I'll give a call back. all is free for me.

sorry guys, since this is going nowhere for too long, there is something we have to do.

Because I was waiting on Jenn's call to find out if the exam was going to cost anything.

I was going to make the appointment myself.. obviously nobody trusts me >_>, but thanks.

But if the funds don't get there, then I'm crap out of luck.

[Muddy4paws]

Dont be silly of course people trust you but sometimes others need to take control, Gina didn't need to help you out and nor do anyone else here on PT so please stop thinking everyone is against you.

[shais_mom]

and a thank you to Gina wouldn't hurt either....

[Roxyluvsme13]

I'm not thinking everyone is against me. I just would have appreciated some notice before appointments were made. Because a. I wasn't planning on doing the spay right now. and b. They're my animals and I was going to make the appointment myself tomorrow. I said today, but then Jenn was asking about if there was an initial exam cost, so that's why I was waiting.

And no, I'm not trying to sound ungrateful, I'm just upset that I wasn't consulted first. They're my pets after all.

And I did say thank you.
