It's just $50, which doesn't seem like much, but when I start to look at our finances week to week, just isn't there. I'm in North Alabama. There are a few programs here locally, but the one I contacted is the only one that we qualify for assistance with because we aren't on government assistance.

The assistance is through a local rescue/adoption organization. When the lady called to tell me that we'd been approved, she said that once we had the money, we would make a donation to the organization of a certain amount and that she would then call the vet and make the appointment for me to...

Some of you might remember my tortoise shell calico, Coco who had kittens last summer. She's been a house cat since and has done fairly well. Her behavior has been akin to a horny woman, though and it's really getting on our nerves. She wails almost constantly and flops all over the house and...

Thank y'all so much for all the advice too. It means a lot to me to be able to ask and get answers from people who know so much more than me. Y'all are responding so quickly too. I just can't thank you enough.

Yeah. I won't put anything on the kittens right now. I've arranged to borrow a tube of Frontline from my neighbor tomorrow so that much will be done at least. I feel so guilty. I knew we had a few fleas but I never expected that they would get the kittens for some reason. I'd rather they...

My neighbor has Frontline. Is that the same? We just spent the better part of the last hour trying to get as many fleas as we could see and catch off of them. Nearly drove Coco batty. I'm so afraid the stress we just put them through will kill them but I had to try. It was awful and I'm almost...

Shoot! I don't have any flea treatments and I don't know that I'll be able to get back to town. Maybe I can get my sis to grab some on the way home from work tomorrow. I used to have a flea comb, but I have no idea where it is now. I think I have a flea collar and regular people combs though...

Is there anything I can do for these babies to get rid of fleas? In my checking up on them today, I've noticed they're eaten up with fleas. I don't want to hurt them, but if I could get rid of the fleas, that's something I really want to do, for everyone's sake.

Okay. Will do! I'll start as soon as I get home! Thank you so much.

We have a spay/neuter assist program but I believe participants have to be on government assistance to qualify. I'll check the Humane Society website though. Thanks!

Thanks sarthur! Getting all of my animals fixed is definitely going to happen. However, we're not in a place financially where we can do that right now. I'm definitely planning on keeping Coco in the house until it's doable. Working in uploading a pic.

Final count by my estimation (I'm pretty sure Coco doesn't have any more left) is 5 kittens. All seem to be healthy overall. Mom is cleaning up and kittens are hungry. Oh, and I'm EXHAUSTED! Lol!

Just over 2 hours in and the 4th kitten has just been born. It has club foot in its back legs :( The rest of the babies appear to be perfectly healthy though!
