The problem is with the cared for life. I flat cannot afford to care for them. I've tried to raise money for their care. I spent $1000 on vet bills last month. I have 3 left to test and vaccinate and I can't even do that. I can't even get people to share their fundraising link, let alone donate. No one cares.
I had a special needs cat awhile back with a hereditarily heart condition. I was able to give her good care - visits to cardiologist, meds, trips to vet for constant ear infections and uri. That was when I was working. I'm on ssdi now and things are much different. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 15, 2014, at 3:47 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Oh no! I wouldn't PTS!
