I'm writing as a follow up to an e-mail I sent the other day about a cat in Rochester, NY that needs a new home. As I mentioned, I have a dog with bone cancer and we went to see the vet today. She again asked what the chances are that I'll be able to find a home for this cat in the next week or so. She has bought a new house and will be moving in with a friend that has healthy cats and is not ok with a positive kitty coming into the home. This cat has been living at her parent's farm but she knows she can get her if I find a home. As a vet, she can't just leave this cat at the farm to fend for itself (nor would I want her to) so the only option is for me to find a home for the cat or for her to euthanize it. She is heart broken and I'm still hopeful that I can find a home for this cat. Does anybody have an opening or know anybody that could take this cat? She will take care of all the vet care prior to sending the cat to make sure she is as healthy as can be. We will also take care of arranging transportation.
If it was any other time in my life I would take her, but my dog is very ill and I'm expecting a baby in 8 weeks. I'm out of work because I'm violently sick and have been for 32 weeks. My cats just cost me $700 last week and I have another appointment for the other ones in August which will run me another $500-$600. My dog has cost me over $2000 this month and will cost me between $2000 and $10,000 depending if we decide to amputate his leg. I just can't swing adding another pet with a baby on the way and the loss of one of our incomes not to mention that we are just trying to minimize change and keep our Great Dane calm so he doesn't injure the leg with the bone cancer. I know everybody is full but I promised my vet I would make another plea for help. I have tried everywhere I could think of locally. Does anybody have any suggestions??
