Bri & The Pets, Pet Angel Fund, Read post 95 for More info.

Petco has vaccination clinics every Saturday from 10-2. They have pet wellness packages starting at $39. I have my cats vaccinated there. Get there early as it gets crowded. Bring your cat's vet records with you so they canm see when she was last vaccinated.

You're saving AT LEAST $45 for an office visit. Listen to me, I sound like a walking advertisement.

Well, we don't have a Petco :/.. and I'm not sure if Petsmart has these or not. I'll call and ask sometime later.

Would your mom call the clinic and find out about the direct funding? That way she has no hassle with checks from people.

Would she call Petsmart too? http://www.petsmart.com/banfield/index.shtml
Banfield is in Petsmarts, but you have to put in your zip there to find the one nearest you. They have a Wellness Plan (not insurance) that costs about $12 per month - but talk to them anyway. See what they can do for you.

We can donate to Banfield as well! They do all the spays, vaccinations, etc.

You'll have the money for Giz quite quickly! It's not like you need $1,000 for her.

Are there any PTrs nearby that could help you, or other friends?

Maybe look up Petsmart on the internet for their programs, or phone them soon.

Bri - as soon as the clinic says it can accept direct donations, you'll have the money for Giz quite quickly! It's not like you need $1,000 for her.

They aren't open again til Monday. I am back at work then, but will see if I can reach them.

Well, my mom finds this whole idea rediculous and I don't think she gives a rat's butt if Gizzie is ever spayed, she just wants her out of here T_T. I've been doing everything so far. My mom wouldn't even call a rescue for me, she just wants to take Gizzie to the animal shelter and dump her.

And I'll have to call Petsmart myself, too.

Umm, the closest PT'er is 2 hours away I believe. I can't remember who all is near me either.

Yep, not too many donations needed.. I still need to find out the cost of the bloodwork though.

Alright, thanks .

Edit: Just checked Banfield. They have no email, but they do have a fax number.

I'm sorry Bri but I really don't get your mom. People are willing and ready to help with Gizzie so she doesn't end up at a shelter and she thinks we are all nuts. I would think that if people cared enough to donate their money to help someone elses animals there is a damned good reason for it. I know that if I was in the situation and needed it and people were willing to help me help my cat I would be so grateful. I know you said your mom hates Gizzie and would rather toss her out the door and I also know all the reasons you have told me why she hates her but they are normal behaviors for cats who are unspayed and who are young. I mean I am pretty sure you had your share of issues with Lily and training her and all but there was never an issue there about tossing her away.

I am soooo sorry and I know you love and want to keep Gizzie but is your mom ever going to give her a chance? She will become more calm with the spay but if she really hates her so much will she even care that she has or will she just want to toss her away anyway.

I am sorry if this sounds mean but you know I care about you and your pets. And I want Gizzie to have a good and happy and healthy life. So this is quite upsetting to see how ungrateful your mom is being and how disregardful for those people who want to help, your feelings and for poor little Gizzie too who had the misfortunate to find a home where the adult doesn't want her around it seems no matter what.

Please try to talk to your mom and make sure she is not gonna dump Gizzie but atleast give us a chance to get her spayed and find her a home if we need to. I know there are PTers who can help. I really hope she gives that poor cat a chance. She doesn't deserve this treatment.

((((hugs to you))))
I know it is not your fault and you love Gizzie. You are trying your hardest and I really am sorry your mom doesn't seem to want to help you help Gizzie.

Michelle, I know. I will make sure that Gizzie at least gets a chance. I've got my mom to keep her this long, so I think I can let her be able to stay permanently. My mom was just telling me like ten minutes ago how she wished both of the cats were gone and we would keep Lily.. *sigh* She hasn't like Gizzie since we got her.

Oh Bri I am so sorry. I don't know how but some people are just not cat people. I guess your mom is one of them and prefers the little dogs cause if I remember right she is not a big fan of Roxy's either. I wish I knew of something more to help. I wish I was closer too. You know my mom was never a big cat fan either. I mean she liked them well enough but not in her house. That changed after me bringing home Mytsi and after mytsi was gone Lilith & Vixen. She always complained about them but about a year after I left she went and got a cat of her own. And I know there are people on her that are reformed cat haters too. Maybe once she sees how sweet cats can be and if she really gives them half a chance and gets to know then she may be reformed too. I will cross my fingers but not hold my breath.


((((HUGS))))
We are here to help you and Gizzie and when Gizzie is all done then we can work on Skye.

Thanks Michelle. I'm really not much of a cat person myself.. I much rather prefer dogs, but just because of that I'm not going to dump my cat off at an animal shelter.

I doubt she'll ever change her mind to be honest. Skye can be a huge sweetie and she still says she "hates" her. But I don't think she does.

Is there anyway to keep the kitties and just get rid of MOM?!

lol, no. I do love my mom. She just doesn't understand the animals sometimes.
