Jenn,

Okay here is what I found out so far.

The one place does boarding Monday - Friday so I could keep him there as long as he does not test positive for FIV/FELV. So I will probably just keep him at my house then on Saturday night and Sunday night.

As far as I have heard that this cat is very friendly but we'll see of course how he acts with Sassy. I really hope he does okay.

I could drive to Allentown on that following Saturday although I don't know my way around Allentown but I do know where Cabela's is, I know that's though 40 mins from Allentown but we could meet there if that would be okay or we could meet closer to Allentown if you prefer. My brother lives in Emmaus...near Dorney park we could always try to meet there as well.

I can also try to cut the cost of Boarding and just drive him there sometime during that week following his surgery and shots.

I'm going to call Orphans of The Storm since Mt. Nittany Vet. Hospital takes the coupon for the neutering as long as I can get one.

The cost for the coupon would be $55 which includes fixing, rabies, and distempermant.

If I don't get the coupon it would be ~$160 to neuter, rabies, and distempermant from the vets.

To FIV/FELV test Tigger it would be $38 and the cost to board Tigger is $14 a night as long as I pick him up by Friday at noon I don't get charged for that day.

So with the boarding costs that is: $56 for 4 days, Plus $55 for the neuter coupon (which I intend to call about today to get the coupon and hopefully I can give them a check over the phone since I don't get paid till Thursday) then $38 to combo test, then if he needs any type of flea medicine or ear medicine that could be another $30 or so...so the total as of right now as long as I can get the coupon from the Orphans of the Storm the price would be about $179 not including gas money or anything but we'll make it work somehow.

I will be patent don't worry. I'm just so glad you are willing to help take him in.

Thanks!

Melissa

If you can get the cat, atleast get him tested and vaccinated, I'll go to the vet that does clinics and get the neutering. I'll can call my connection and see when she's doing a group of them again. Sassy is all by his lonesome upstairs, so if he can be nice and not pick on Sassy, we'll be good to go. We can then figure out a way to get him here (meet in the middle or me go out there on a day that I have off on the weekend (I have to figure out schedule with Full time and Part Time job... so patience is a must on this part...)
