We have eight, all rescues. Hmm. Well each of them get two cans of Fancy Feast per day, so that's 16 cans a day at seven days a week equals 100 plus cans a week. Plus we put a few extra cans out every day for variety, so let's say 100 plus per week.
My husband buys the litter at Sam's and I have no idea what he pays. We all went to the vet in December and I can't remember what the bill was but I think it was about sixty dollars a cat.
Now, we have one older calico with high blood pressure and borderline thyroid disease so she's on amlodipine made into tuna flavored treats and was on tapazole until it gave her anemia. The anemia prompted rounds of red blood cell counts. Now she's off tapazole but gets blood work every three months. And she had her teeth cleaned with eight extractions - $600.
Then at the end of April the siamese had her pre-op and dental cleaning with four extractions. $500 plus.
Then May two of the boys had their pre-ops and dental cleanings, no extractions - $450 plus
Samantha passed away December after three surgeries $1,200 each, eight chemo treatments at $600 each and a trip to DC to see if she was a candidate for radiation.
Whatever the total is, I'm grateful that my husband and I are able to afford it. I'm very grateful because I don't care if I have to eat a can of Campbell's soup every night for dinner as long as they get the care they need.
Love them so much it hurts.
