Ok well I caught the cat last night and it's a "Boy" not a girl.
He was very scared last night and not very happy. I took him to the vets today at 8:30 a.m. and dropped him off and the vet's office just called and said they were running the FIV/FELV test and it was negative.
But here's the bad news....some I knew like he would probably have to be shaved because of his burrs everywhere and he has 3 bite wounds on his neck 2 of which are healing nice and the 3rd is pretty fresh.
He has to be sedaited for them to work on him because once they took him out he flew up at the ceiling and hit his head off the coroner of the desk and got a bloddy nose. Poor guy.
He has fleas and worms.
So now I have to get my guys treated for fleas.
Total bill
$12.50 rabies shot (he has to have this because of the bite wounds)
$34.00 exam
$33.00 to sediate him
$30.00 for the shave down
$2.00 medical waste
$16.50 frontline for the fleas
$27.00 antibotic to prevent infection in the wounds
$35.00 FIV/FELV combo test
$18.00 worming meds
$208.00 just for him
I'm getting $50 donated at least and the rest I'll just have to pay monthly.
Man I didn't realize saving one cat would give me this much of a bill.
I'm not sure if he is going to be able to be rehomed or not but I guess I need to try.

Is he really a male tortoiseshell? I hope he can find a home soon.
