    Why have you decided to do this without a Humane Society backing you? Have you talked to them? Can they be of help?

    If not, maybe another shelter or cat group can help.

    Your vet may take payments - or, as I just suggested to someone else, Google "Care Credit". It's a loan for pets (and hoomins) health that charges no interest on whatever is paid back in 3 months time.

    Good luck - please keep us posted!

    That's why whenever I adopt a cat out, I charge whatever the vet charged me. It would cost the new owners that much anyways. It's also a good way to weed out the undesired homes and guarantee that the cat will be well cared for. If the perspective adopters gripe about the cost, I simply show them the vet bill. If they can't afford the cost, the have no business adopting a pet. I'm lucky that I have vet who is willing to work with me.

    I took in these 3 babies cause I was mainly concerned that they were going to be dropped off at someones farm to fend for themselves I knew the person caring for them. They didn't have the same feelings on felines as I do.... They thought that as long as you give them to some place such as a farm there would be enough rodents ect. for them to live from so they could get by...I felt that if they had been living within a home environment being fed 2 times a day doesn't really give them the "sense" of even knowing were to begin to find food on their own. So that is why. For some strange reason people live under this understanding since cats can live on farms just makes them "all" be able to do so. Well unless they are raised that way from the get go more chances that they will be killed or even starve to dealth. Breaks my heart so I opened my heart up to this group cause honestly I couldn't see them go through that.... the babies are toooooo sweet. I am looking into vaccine clinics at the local shelters or petco? Although that required a 1/2 hour ride both ways so I am going to keep searching and calling. Didn't know if anyone else had any ideas...
