Urgent Help needed! Special needs cat needs assistance ASAP (Bethlehem)

[Anikaca77]

Dr. Hess is very accomodating, and should be able to help them out financially somehow. She does payment plans and such. I've had Dr. Hess as my vet for years, and I've never had them tell me they'd put down my cat if I didn't come up with the money in full.

Then I wonder if this is just another case of someone not wanting to take proper care of their cat or something?

I'm not sure.

no it's someone who can't afford to treat their cat. Even if the Dr takes payments, you stil have to come up with all of the $ eventually and that's a lot of cash any way you look at it. The owner didn't say the Dr would put the cat down if she didn't pay, she was just saying that if she herself couldn't come up with the money (or a new home) she would have the cat PTS rather than let it suffer.

True. Thanks. Poor thing. It is expensive I know that but even with payments you can get behind believe me, I didn't expect to owe our vet as much as we do now but we are going to pay her off it just takes time, I'm just glad that we are still able to take our cats in regardless of the bill. Hopefully soon our income tax check comes and we can pay them off and work on another vet bill I'm sure by that time.
