[Catty1]

I talked to Diane at the Banfield, and then to Linda at the Dr. Robinson's vet office. I did explain that young Bri's mom was getting a little impatient with the kitty that poops out side the box and is just grumpy.

lvpets2002, Linda hadn't heard from you yet....on the voice mail, apparently you have to press Accounting for her and the Pet Angel Fund.

I hope this gets finalized soon....

I really hope everything works out for this kitty. I was going to let everyone know that Banfield is pretty spendy when it comes to spays/neuters...I work there. Not to mention their shot prices are outrageous, so thank heavens you found another place to go to.

And just a FYI for anyone interested, Banfield's offer vaccine and deworming clinics as well, not just petco's. Each clinic varies on days, so you would have to check with them first to see which day/s they hold the clinics. You still pay full price for vaccines, but you get a free office call during those hours. We do ours every tuesday and thursday from 2-4.

I would love to donate, but unfortunately at this time I have literally no money. I'm on maternity leave til July, and will pretty much have no income. Thank goodness I have a mother who is still willing to pay my bills. Poor woman.

I do hope all goes well. Keep us updated. I'm hoping every pet can get their vet needs taken care of and either Gizzy can stay or find a loving home in which to spend the rest of her days.

Also, as far as the urination goes, you may want to have the clinic do a urinalysis on her. Though it can be caused by hormones, you also want to make sure she doesn't have any underlying illness causing her to urinate in places she shouldn't be.

Hi, Luckies - I thought Banfield had a Wellness Plan as well, which is maybe more affordable?

That's what I initially had in mind for Bri.

But glad this has worked out!

Yayyy!!!!! So, $730? Wow. lol. My mom just said Oh sh**! *giggle* She said she doesn't want you all to do this for us, I think she feels bad for me asking for money. But oh well, we certainly can't afford all of this right now.

Thank you all so, so much! ***HUGS*** and ***KISSES*** from Bri, Roxy, Lily, Skye, Gizzie, and My mommy. <3

And oh, Do you think Gizzie really NEEDS a urinalysis?

Heh, I get to talk about work. Good thing, as I'm having major contractions right now and the baby might come tonight, so this is a good distraction.

Yes, Banfield has wellness plans, BUT if the cat is over 6 months of age it will not cover the spay, and she would be enrolled into an adult plan. The plans are for a year, and you are bound to the contract even if something happens to the pet...you get rid of the animal, it passes away, runs away etc. There is a one time membership fee, and it varies based on what plan you choose. There are 4 plans, Primary, Basic, Basic Plus and Optimum. If it's an adult cat the Basic Plus plans covers a set of blood work, as does the Basic, though now that they just changed things if you go with a Basic Plus plan the cat can only use the blood work during a dental procedure, which may not be a bad thing is the cat also needs a dental cleaning. It will also cover vaccines, though unfortunately it no longer covers FIV/FELV testing and they swapped that out for the feline heartworm antigen test. Sorry if there are typos...kind of painful at the moment. You get free office calls for the whole year, and depending on what plan you enroll on you get a certain percentage off services that are not covered under the plan, such as medications etc. They also cover general deworming, but deworming for tapeworms isn't included.

Trying to breathe...need anymore info. I got lots more where that came from. That's just a basic overview. Oh ya, there's a one time membership fee and then you pay a certain amount per months depending on which plan you choose, and it's automatic deduction. So like, VISA, Mastercard, Discover, checking or savings, or you can choose to pay the plan year in full.
