Aw, Carol, I know your struggle. What do you think took me so long to make Flutter's adoption official? I was being hit constantly for hundreds of dollars in vet fees for Pouncer.... how could I adopt another cat knowing the cats I have already were costing me money.... especially another cat that I know has a high rish of major health problems as she grows older?

I'll tell you how: I followed my heart. The money always has a way of finding its way to us when we need it. I save when and how I can for the vet bills, like right now I'm saving for Nicki's senior vet workup.... and once I have the money I'm going to call the vet and have the appointment set upo. I already know the costs, so I won't be surprised with too little money on the day of the appointment.

Now if in your heart you KNOW you won't be able to spare even an extra $100 a year for vet visits, then your heart will know its not a good thing to do.
