When Mike adopted Yetta from the animal shelter here, she was extreemly ill. He took her directly to the vet. She was so sick the vet was taking her home at night when she got off. It was never a option of Mike's to return her to the shelter or ask for money for her care. She stayed at the vet a week and still came home with medicines she had to take.

Same with Amy, I adopted her on Saturday (free kittens at a pet store) and had her at the vets early Monday morning and it was NEVER a option to return her when he told me it was a birth defect. By then I was already head over heals in love with my little wobbly kitten.
