Frustration

[jazzcat]

When we found the kittens in the back yard (4 total of which I kept 2) I was lucky that my vet offered me a multipet discount of 10% which they still apply to all my other cats. That discount helped with the vaccinations and deworming. They also worked out a deal with me to spay the momma for $50 which is more than 50% off the regular price. Another thing I did was only have one of the kittens tested. Since they hadn't been exposed to other cats I thought it would be okay to do that. The one kitten was negative so I left it at that and all has been okay and it's now two years later.

I didn't charge the lady who took the other two kittens an adoption fee but it was because my husband worked with her and knew she was a huge cat lover and had other spoiled cats at home. If I had advertised and had a stranger adopting them I would have charged them an adoption fee to make sure they were serious and to help recoup my costs.

Well the vet that is 2 blocks from my home was able to get them in and was by far much more reasonable as for the cost.... And they were able to get us in on Monday so we will making our first vet visit on Monday evening wish us all luck.... Thank goodness its only a block away. Then we have to wait and wonder how they are going to do after vaccine I know Chloe ran a pretty decent fever after her shots so thank goodness I will be home with them if anyone spikes a nasty fever..... We are on the road to adoption sooner or later we will find these little hunny buns a home.....Thanks for all the help.....Excellent ideas as far as the adoption price its really best to do it that way get rid of the ugly uncaring people who just want them as kittens.....

I hope I didn't offend you, it was not my intention. I was just trying to offer a bit of advice, granted unsolicited though.

I'm glad you found a place close to home with better prices.

I'm still curious though, was the $150 for just one cat or all 3 combined?

Well going to the place real close to my house was 112.00 without meds for the 3 I couldn't believe it!! I was amazed I knew if I shopped around a little and did some research it would be well worth the effort although this is only the first shot they get when they are 10weeks old a fecal test and 1 feline Luek. test. They have been isolated from my felines since they moved in so we should all be good here. You didn't offend me I know you were just lending some helpful advice.....I know we all are looking out for each others well being.... I have just been through so much with our little Chloes in resent months I am so happy that is all behind us. I thought her eye was going to be something much greater than I was willing to deal with I am so happy she is responding to the new meds and her eye is almost normal..... Her personality has changed in a good way also so I just hope introducing the little ones won't stress her out again.....Wish us luck!!
