| Hello, I am in desperate need of figuring out how to save the lives of two kittens that were carelessly abandoned by my house. About one month ago, my husband found these kittens that were abandoned in a tree in our front yard, so he brought them inside and fed them. They were so tiny and so hungry so we desided to keep them. I noticed one of them had something wrong with its eyes so I told my husband we had to take them to the vet to get them looked at and made sure they were healthy because we have 4 children and 3 of them are under the age of 5. We do not have a lot of money, we are a one income family and live on section 8, but we came up with the $70 to have them examined some how. I was not prepared for what the vet was going to te me. They wanted to charge me an additional $300 because these cats had fleas and worms and needed shots and I can not afford any of that. I found out they are 9 weeks old and are too young for a lot of over the counter treatment but I just couldn't afford the money the vet needed to treat them. I put the cats in one room so their fleas would not get everywhere in the house and that's where they have been for the last 2 weeks. I got a litter box and clean it and feed them several times a day, but that is where they are staying until I can get help. The thing is, tge beautiful kitties are sick, I know they have fleas and now the hair is falling off their ears and their starting to bleed. My husband says its from scratching the fkeas, but I read it might be from from ear mights. Not only that, but I was cleaning their poop yestrrday and saw worms in their poop!! I don't know which kitten it was but I CAN NOT have these kittens around my babies in this condition and its so unfair to leave them stuck in that room while I am unable to afford the care they need. We tried to call a million different places and there is NO ONE that will help us to get these kittens healthy without paying at least $100 each cat and i can not afford that. My husband wants to just get rid of them because they are not safe to be around my children, but i called so many places and there is no where to drop them off where they won't be "euthanized" and I don't want to just open the door and send them back outside after they've been inside for a month. I am so lost and confused. I tried to do the right thing by rescuing them but I can't afford to get these kittens healthy and I don't want them to go back outside and possibly die or send them to a shelter that will kill them. I need help! If these cats aren't in need, then I don't know who is. PLEASE write me back and tell me how you can help me save these kittens lives. Otherwise, I'mggoing to have no other option but to call for some shelter to get them where they will most likely be put to sleep. They have become party of my family and my kids will be devestated, but I honestly do not know what to do or where to turn
