I'm taking the new girl (posted pics of her recently in fur pics) to the vet within the next two weeks, and if she gets a clean bill of health, I'm bringing her into the house.


She has definitely decided to stick around and I've been adopted. But Sissy is NOT having it, and has been attacking the new girl (now being called Squeaky for her squeaky meow) rather viciously.


I gave Squeaky a Revolution treatment tonight, and Sissy is due to the vet within two weeks for her rabies shot, FELV booster and FVRCP 3 year continuum. So I'm going to call the vet, explain my situation, let them know my cash budget, see what they can do to help me, and tote Squeaky along to the appointment.

I have no idea if Squeaky is spayed, and I am praying that she already is.
The shots alone are going to cost me a lot (because I have to get her combo tested first, plus pay for Sissy's visit.)

I'm in a REALLY tough situation financially, but I just can't let Sissy and Squeaky try to kill each other. Squeaky's poor, pretty little face is already all marked up from Sissy slashing at her.


I know we are not supposed to ask for financial assistance on TCS, but if anyone has any suggestions how I can get some help to help this little gal, I'm open to ideas.

If she needs to be spayed, I can apply to the local humane society for assistance with that cost, but that's all they'll do for me. The shelter here is a high-kill shelter, so I just CANNOT take her there. And it's a poor county, with more and more abandoned animals out fending for themselves.

Not sure what else to do but to take her inside. Looks like I'll be eating a lot of rice this month, LOL. And I do NOT need SEVEN cats - need that many like I need a hole in my head. And I'm already 3 over the city limit.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!


I hope she's spayed.... but basically, things always seem really tight for Gary and I these days because of his health and the crimp it puts on our ability to work. Basically we've just worked things out with the vets so we can pay over time. Hope you're able to work it out!

I hope things work out for all of you. I always say the cats who need me will find me and I will find the money. Most vets have Care Credit or something similar. Your vet should be willing to work with you..

God bless you!
