You're right. We don't know the whole situation but when you give slim details, you get broad judgements. (That's not saying that we *want* or *need* to know a detailed auto-biography of your family...) Basically, all we knew was that the cat was hurt and your finances were tight. I think that all PTers will agree that giving up an animal is THE last resort. But sometimes, rehoming is the only solution. Hopefully, you've found a way around that and are able to get him the medical care he needs.

At any rate, what I wanted to comment on.... "college pot smoking idiots." For every 'pot smoking idiot' I'm willing to bet there are two or three who don't/aren't.

My old college roommate found a baby-sitting job through the university's placement/career services office. Why not call a local college/university and 'place an ad' -- interviews can be conducted 'in house' by YOU and/or Your Hubby; you'll be hiring someone you feel comfortable with. Explain to them the situation OR if you don't want them to know about your finances, tell them they are "under observation" for __ wks, at the end of which they will be paid; subsequent pay checks will follow every __ wk.

Just an idea-
