Continuation of free kittens in Butler

[rebeccahowes]

I just got back from the vets. I posted two pics for you guys. One is the three cats lined up in their cage and boxes. My daughter brought me a cage. The other picture is three hearts. These are the tags that prove the cats had their shots. My three tame cats handled the vets pretty well. I pick them up tomorrow. My one cat, which I just got homes for all of her kittens, was pregnant again. I cannot believe it. My other female cat was pregnant also. She has never been pregnant before. Everyone had tapeworms and round worms and fleas. It was a nightmare. The vet gave them shots and orally gave them worm medicine along with an extra shot for worms. I asked how much all of this cost and the lady said she would let me know tomorrow. She believes that the vet is going to charge me a cheaper price then he does for regular patrons. They said I have a total of 355 in my account. I am worried about the flea situation though. He said they can get the worms back by eating their fleas. I asked him if putting flea collars on the seven would help and he said no. His solution was to get advantage flea medicine and put it on all seven cats for six months. He said that would get rid of the fleas on the cats and in the house. The only problem is that the advantage for one cat for six months is 67 dollars. That is quite a bit for seven cats so I don't know how I am going to solve the flea and worm problem. By time I get the other three females to the vets, I am sure they are going to be pregnant if they are not already. If anybody has solutions on how to rid my cats of fleas without costing so much, please let me know. Also, if I can get the advantage I am wondering how to catch the three ferals once a month. The vet was funny. He had a couple of contraptions that he made to catch ferals. To top of the whole event, my 20 year old was my ride to the vets. She got her permit about six months ago and she is a very scary driver. We had to drive on a freeway which she had never driven on before. I thought we were going to die trying to get to the vets. I think I almost had a stroke by time we got there. Coming back was even worse and I have to do it again tomorrow when I pick up the cats. Finally, the vet gave me a lecture about having cats that I could not afford to take care of. I just kept my mouth shut. I truly did not want to be in this situation. Only one cat that I have was a true decision that I wanted a cat. The rest must have heard I am a cat lover and all showed up at my place expecting me to give them a home. I could not turn them away. There are a bunch of strays outside and I leave them food and water. I promise I will never get into this situation again. It is tougher than raising my six children. I will let you guys know what happens tomorrow after I pick up everyone and what the cost came to. In the meantime, I would appreciate and feedback on how to rid fleas without it costing too much. Thanks everyone! Rebecca
