I hate to sound like I'm begging, but I'll be blunt - I'm dirt poor right now. We have soon to be 7 people and 5 (4 cats, one dog) animals in our house, with currently only one part time income to support us. We're living off food stamps and housing assistance, and it's not enough.
For added fun, we have a flea infestation - I have tried every home remedy I can - most of them recommend ingredients I don't have access to (no car). Salt doesn't work, vinegar and water just makes my cats mad and the dog run in fear, bathing with various shampoos and soaps/washing clothes and bedding regularly doesn't do a thing, vacuuming daily... it helps for a couple of hours.
A friend of mine was generous enough to buy some Hartz flea medication for my cats, but was only able to buy three, so I had to split a dose between two cats. As you can tell, it didn't work.
I've checked prices on various meds - they're all way out of my range right now, and none of the local vets will take any payment options.
So I'm asking for help - If you can, if you're willing, I can't tell you how grateful I would be if some of you could send even one dose of flea medication. All I can do in return is promise that I'll repay you the money as soon as I'm able.
I know this all sounds dramatic, but unfortunately it's only the truth. We can't get a full night's sleep from the itching, and I can't imagine the torture this must be on the animals.
If you're able/willing to help me out, please send me a message and I can give you my address. Thanks so much.
