Combined expenses? The average was $1000+
before Effie's chemo began. That would include any extra spays and
neuters, abscesses, etc. of wanderers. Any adopted out are
neutered, dewormed, shots and chipped before leaving. No, we are not rich,
that's just where our money goes. We are blessed.

WOW....My goodness gracious, I would hat eto see your vet bill, or food
bill for that matter....But horray and good for you this is wonderful to
hear.
Numbers? The most I have had at one
time was 26. At present 23. Ancient Smokey lives with
ancient MIL in the little house next door and I do all his care and
some of hers. Two in the attached heated/ac garage; Effie,
FeLV+, has the sunroom and bedroom, I sleep with her; the others,
including Butch, FIV+, and TiTia (probably herpes) have the rest
of the house and the family room with a screen door keeping some
separated. There is an enclosed back porch with heater they use during
the day, a pet door goes fm the family room to the porch. Tiger has
the neighborhood and front porch or MIL's sheltered back deck and under
her HOT house, he's a heavy sprayer and never did want to be inside when he
lived next door. They took him when they moved but he came back and is
such a love. I hate him being outside but he loves it and we've made
creature comforts for him to ke! ep warm and dry. Cats is all I do all
day, there isn't time for anything else and this is what I love. They
are all wonderful. Hubby would like the garage kitties to be crated at
night so he could put the cars inside ... they have carpets and toys and cat
tree, etc. Emily is still somewhat feral and defies catching on a
daily basis. Dominic could be adopted out now if he would stop biting,
biting, biting fingers. A few kitty condos for mealtimes for
those on special diets. The feral female I spayed recently had to be
boarded at the vet a few days because I am out of isolation
room!

Hi All,
I have 5 kitties right now, and I am debating on taking in 2 or 3
more, just out of curiosity what kind of numbers do you all have...that
would bring my count to 7 or 8, with a dog and a 5 year old son, just
curious?
Thanks
Cherie
