I am very disheartened by the way this thread is turning out. This thread was originally started to find Gizzie a new home as Catty1 already said. The problem was no one had any suggestions. The shelter in Bri's area is a KILL shelter and to stop Gizzie from being tossed into a KILL shelter and 9 chances out of 10 ending up dead which she certainly does deserve the suggestion of spaying Gizzie was brought up. If donated a couple of bucks to save this cats life was the solution then so be it. I would rather see that happen than poor Gizzie lose her life through no fault of her own.

Yes their vaccinations and spays should have been something that was dealt with but there were unforeseen circumstances in this situation that happened after the animals were obtained. Bri had both cats and dogs before things turned bad. Her mom lost her job, they had a break in and lost a lot of things and almost got evicted. It has been a long climb for her mom (a single mother) to get back on her feet.

I think considering if anyone can come up with a better solution here I would love to hear it. And like I said before if it means Gizzie losing her life or putting up a few buck to get her spayed then I vote for the few bucks. I have already voluteered to help from the beginning. I don't want to see this cat killed because we feel they were not responsible. That doesn't make things right by any means.

If you don't want to help don't. If you have other suggestions as to how to solve this please say so but do not slam a 14 year old child and single mother for this. And with all due respect Bri is 14 what kind of job do you honestly think she can get to be able to pay a vet bill of $730? And considering her mom is not steadily employed now don't you think it will be possible if she does get a job that some of her money will have to go to help keep them afloat?
