K, thanks. I just emailed a local clinic and they replied back with a pricing.

The price for spay (ovariohysterectomy) is $88.00. This includes preanesthesia examination, anesthesia for surgery, the surgery itself and an overnight hospitalization. There is also an injection for peri-operative pain management which is $9.00. Lastly, we offer and recommend blood tests prior to anesthesia if you are interested, but this is not required in young cats.Thank you. Please call if you have any questions.

I think that's not that bad actually, one of the cheaper vets.

OK - so do you need donations, hon? Or is your friend still willing and able to pay?

ANd if Giz's behaviour changes for the better, is there a chance she can live with you and your mom again?

Good for you for persevering and finding the best deal and it sounds like they are thorough at the clinic.

I guess I am asking: What now?

hugs!

[Roxyluvsme13]

I might be able to get a discount with that. I have to check with the local shelter because I know they offer a discount. Do you think they'll want her up to date on shots for the spay?

[Roxyluvsme13]

I was just reading on my shelter's site and it says the spay of a cat is only $35. Michelle has so offered kindly to pay for the spay of Gizzie and Skye, all I need is help with teh shots. Michelle's also recommended bloodwork done on each.. I'll have to call and make sure its the price and check on the bloodwork.

[Catty1]

OK thanks. Keep us posted!

[Roxyluvsme13]

Called the clinic and left a message. I told my mom, so they'll probably call tomorrow.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Alright, everyone, need your help! The price of the spay for Gizmo is $35 with a form from the local shelter. I'll have to pick that up this weekend.

Now, I need the help of everyone. Donations? According to their website, the total for everything should be around $90. I'll have to ask them about bloodwork when I call them again this weekend, but I know I definitely need at least $90 for her shots. Then, Michelle (kittycats_delight) is paying the $35 for her spay. So, any help I can get is appreciated. Just PM me for my address. I can only accept checks or money orders. (hopefully I can find a place to get the money orders cashed if anybody sends those)

Thanks everyone in advance. I really appreciate this.

If your family is a member of a bank that bank should cash them no problem.

We're not. But I think Wal-Mart does.

Hi, Bri - sorry, I don't know how old you are. Just would you have a problem cashing cheques because of your age?

Or would your mom do it?

If you can PM me the contact info of the clinic doing the shots and everything, I could send them an amount on my credit card or something. Being in another country, not sure if Wal-Mart would cash my check!

Would it be ok if I sent money to the clinic? Let me know, ok?

I don't think the clinic will accept money like that. :/ My mom said just a bit ago that we can't get the checks cashed because the banks are probably different and no place else will cash personal checks!

Nope, I can cash checks. I've done it before .

And she also said we can't get money orders cashed.. at least the full amount because Wal-Mart takes money out.

My mother is frustrating me. Can anybody help on this, because I'm confused?

[Catty1]

How about explaining this to the clinic and seeing if they will take direct payments from other people?

I know some other places have done it. It can't hurt to ask.

Besides - if there is a little left over there, it will be good to have in case Giz gets sick or something later.

Or if you give me their contact info, I can ask them. I really don't mind at all.

Cause then we can get the $ for Gizzy!

But there's no appointment or anything set up yet.. just so ya know. It's a little too early to go ahead and do that since I don't know how long it will take to get the money.

The email bounced (full box) so I am faxing them. (They can run, but they can't hide! )

Here's what I said:

To: Mindy, Good News Clinic
Tel:Fax - 423.926.4853


Hello, Mindy:

I emailed you, but the box was full, so I am sending you a fax.

My name is Candace Carnie. I post on a forum called petoftheday.com as Catty1.

A young gal there has checked with your clinic for prices on a spay and shots for her cat. She has financial support from a friend to pay for the spay, but needs some more to cover shots, etc.

Is there a way that those who wish can send money directly to your clinic, and put it towards the credit of this person and her cat?

If your answer is in the affirmative, then I will ask her (first name is Bri, short for Brianna I guess) to set things up with your clinic, and we will set up donations.

Also need to know what payment types you take. If you take credit cards, does the clinic have a PayPal account?

Thank you very much for your time and attention.

Best regards,

(I DID sign my real name, email addy, phone and fax #. I said I preferred email as a reply. So we'll see!)

EDIT: Shoot, guess the fax is not on at night! I will get 'em tomorrow!

[Roxyluvsme13]

Okay, thanks ^_^!
