"Pet Angel Fund for Spaying Gizzy et al"

[Vela]

LOL that's just silly Reggie. The cat is in danger of being removed from the home, people have contributed money and made all the phone calls. She CAN call from her cell phone, she doesn't want to. ONE phone call wouldn't be the end of the world, people have donated lots of money and done all the work for her up until now. She can go to the trouble to make ONE phone call. If she asked her mother to wake her up she probably would. You can't just make excuses, when other lives depend on you you have to make appropriate choices and take responsibility, not make excuses.

Excuses are like "you know what" everyone has one, but that doesn't get the cat spayed.

I just want to see the animals get what they need, which they aren't right now. I don't care about the rest of it. I just hate to see the hard work and efforts and money donated by everyone thrown aside for no good reason at all.

This whole thing is just beyond my comprehension and angers me so much.

[shais_mom]

What about putting the phone in her pillow case??

I just deldetd my last post, yes all of this is very confusig.

Now you're going to accuse me of my animals not getting proper care.. lovely.

Just because we're late on their spays and check ups and all of that doesn't mean they're not getting proper care.

Roxy is on Raw, we actually found a dog food Lily will eat, even though it's not the highest quality, but we tried that, Skye and Gizzie have food available to them all day long, as does Dipstick, and the bettas are also wonderful. And not to mention I love them more than life itself even though nobody seems to think so just because I won't lose sleep over a phone call that my mom should make. Which now, it is taken care of.

So, don't go accusing me of the animals not getting the proper care because minus the vet and spays, they're all 100% healthy.

And obviously, if that's the amount for the spay and everything, we don't have enough money in the fund in the first place.. :/

And seriously, no matter how much you want the world to know what a horrible owner you think I am, please take this to PM.

just a personal experience..........

when I was a teen I HAD to wake every TWO hours to give meds to one of my dogs......did I wake up?? YES!!.......did I used/needed an alarm?? NO!!..... I woke up because I cared and worried about giving her what she needed on schedule........ I call that my INTERNAL CLOCK........ (I´m not saying no once cares/worries for their pets, my situation may differ as my dog was very sick at the time)

whenever I got o sleep think "I have to wake at so or so time" I wake up at that time without the need of an alarm clock........even less needing it if something is concerning you about something you NEED to do for someone YOU care..........

I´m not bashin on you Bri, but you could make an effort if you really care for Gizzy not getting kicked out and you really appreciate what these lovely ladies are doing for you.......help out as you can......waking up early won´t hurt you, but it WILL help Gizzy..........

and as said priorities come first, yeah I have my share of pets.......and yes Ilike to buy stuff, goto movies and all........but I HAD to buy food for them adn a bigger cage for the birds......I´ve been trying to save for a new camera but that "savings" have been being used for thing I need for them...... a new camera isn´t going to feed my pets, isn´t going to house my birds.........I can live without it a while longer......I won´t die......
I know Bri is young, but still as young as you can be anyone can responsabilize for your pets and make them priorities........

when I started with pets at home I was around 9 (well I had before but my fisrt dog was at that age) and I was threatened plenty times about my parents getting rid of him.......... so I took my responsability and kept it even that young.....he became MY priority....... sure I had no $$ issues but still made me responsible.....so now that I pay for them I know best.......

Are you going to take Gizzy in to get spayed if there is not enough in the fund to pay for all of that stated above?

There's really no point if she can't get her shots, too. I don't think they'll do the spay without shots, at least they wouldn't Roxy a few years ago.

[shais_mom]

Roxy is on Raw, thanks to food stamps,

I wouldn't exactly broadcast that b/c I'm not sure the government would appreciate you using their money for your dog to eat on ALTHOUGH it is DEFINATLEY better kibble/crap in a bag. And yes - my cats eat crapola in bag b/c they WON'T Switch.

Edited my post.

Roxy has to eat too though.

Maybe they can not do the FIV combo test? That seems to be expensive and maybe there would be enough for the rest of it if they were able to not do that at this time? Maybe you can ask them about that when you talk to them tomorrow about the fund. Would be a shame for the money to end up not getting her spayed after everything.

Well being that I just paid over $600 bill for Zoey with my own money, none came from my mother, I was actually saving for college. Can't wait for her acupuncture bill! I know what it's like to come up with something with your pets all of the sudden. I am sorry that everyone is "nagging you" but I have to agree with them.

I just have to say that we as a community are wonderful! If I could I would stand up and applaud you. I just hope if Bri doesn't use this money it would go to a local shelter or go back to the people that donated.

Well, I checked minus the test, and it was still $218 and something. I don't think the test is necessary, but still that's an extra $43 that's not in the fund.

Skye was gotten through the animal shelter but I'm not sure if they would still have the records. I know we don't and my mother was supposed to get her spayed a long time ago back when I was about 12.

You asked me to look at this thread and I've read all the way through.

I understand you are on a school break right now? Why couldnt you go down to the vet if it is just down the road? You need to understand people work their guts out to make a living and they are being so generous and kind hearted donating money to you and from what I've read you really dont seem to be that bothered about helping out, You cant expect to sit back and let everyone else run about for you, You own animals and its your responsibility to care for them and I understand you are only young and dont have much say but you could quite easily help out.

I totally agree with the POTC thing, You shouldn't of put yourself first, Going to the cinema is a luxury and if something more important like your cats wellbeing is not all it could be then how the hell can you sit back and expect people to be different?

I work for myself I own my own buisness and I sure as hell wouldn't see a movie if my animals were ill. I'm struggling as it is right now I'm £10,000 in debt and my animals needs come before me ANYDAY! Im not guarenteed a "payday" so most of my money is saved up for my animals.

To be honest you need to grow up a bit, I would be so angry if I was the people who donated money to you, knowing you would rather contribute to seeing a movie that helping out funding for your own cat. You really do need to sit up and realise other peoples views, no one is saying you can have a life but you need to get your priorities straight.

I am trying to clear this up for myself. In the very first post in this thread, lvpets2002 said there are two cats and two dogs who need care and the bill will be $730.00 (or $182.50 per pet). Jenn_librarian was given a figure of $258.53 today. Maybe Linda at the animal hospital can give the most accurate amounts. The original plan was to re-home Gizmo because of behavior issues, and when that turned out not to be an option it was suggested that Gizmo be spayed. The other pets are also receiving care at the same time. If the fees for all four pets are $258.53 each (round up to $260) then that brings the total up to $1,040. Is the plan for Pet Talk members to contribute all of the needed funds, or does the animal hospital have a care fund to help with some of this? I guess I'm still confused.
