Oh, what fabulous news! God bless!

Carole, why don't you go visit her and her brothers, since the woman invited you to. That way you can keep in touch with little Sugar and check on her getting spayed and all! Also, I bet the woman will be more likely to pay up if she knows you're coming around and you develop a friendship.

Yay! I love happy endings.

Yay! So glad you found her owners. Maybe you could call your local humane society/SPCA and ask if they know of any programs to help encourage people to neuter their pets and pass on the info to her owners? Just a thought.

As far as age goes, it's a pretty hotly debated subject in some circles as to how early you should spay/neuter, but I think 6 months is a pretty agreeable age to most. Considering she goes outside I'd want to make sure she got spayed before she goes into heat (which she already can @ 5 months) because 1. she can and almost certainly will get pregnant and 2. she will have to be spayed in between heats because spaying during a heat is more risky and thus costs more.

Again, I'm really glad she is back with her owners and I hope they do the responsible thing and spay her.

Concatulations on a job well done! Thank you and bless you for keeping her safe, fed, and healthy. I hope you will accept the owner's offer to visit. Not only will you get to see her grow, you also will be able to make sure she's being properly cared for.

Sorry everyone i could not reply as i was locked out of my email address, and only just changed things on here,someone has been spamming from my acct, really a big nuisance as it is my main email acct too.

Anyhow i have left a note in her box to let her know about cheap spaying, i did some research today and found out i can get her spayed for $30, which is really cheap, so i left her all the details, however i guess owing me $63.90 and that on top of it is really rather a lot for a solo parent, probably on a welfare.

I would love to say don't worry about paying me back, and just get her spayed, but i really cannot afford to do that (oh well back in overdraft yet again ), however i am not even sure she will pay me, i only have her word on that, and just have to wait and see.

I feel i made an error in judgement, i probably should not have taken her to my vets,but i thought i would not be charged since she was not my cat,(lesson learn't never assume anything), check it out first i did need to find out if she had been micro-chipped, and get her deflead and wormed, but i could have done the last two myself with little expense,now i have put myself out of pocket and probably caused her extra expense she cannot afford,trying to to a good deed has kind of back-fired,still i am really happy that Sugar is safe and back with her owners and brothers where she belongs.

I may well go around yet to say hello, but i am quite a shy person and find that sort of thing hard to do.

wil keep you posted on how things turn out, and thanks for the nice comments,you are all so kind.
