Re: [Felvtalk] Holistic vs traditional vets for felv
I used to have care credit before I had to declare bk after I became disabled and went on social security disability. My vet takes it with a minimum charge of $200.

Re: [Felvtalk] Holistic vs traditional vets for felv
Kelley, I can certainly understand your dilema. Some FelV cats never get sick, but if they do you will have a lot of veterinary expense. Our lost cost clinic isn't cheap either, and if you are struggling just to buy cat food and litter I hope you can rehome the FelV cats. Lorrie On 03-15, Kelley wrote: I can't pay anything.

Yes the interest is terrible if you don't pay the loan off during the alloted interest free time. I just paid off my daughters $930. Care Credit account to keep her from having to pay that interest.

Re: [Felvtalk] Holistic vs traditional vets for felv
Sometimes we get enough in donations to cover food and litter for several months. If not I have to cover it out of pocket which is where things get dicey. When possible I feed diamond indoor hair ball control kibble which is at least corn and wheat free. I know the first thing this vet is going to want to do is put them on raw which can be cheaper but that's after I buy a meat grinder. The diamond kibble is $125 a month for all cats. Otherwise they get what I can afford. Rehoming is a possibility but I'd like at this point to continue to raise funds and see how that works out. I've been on this list for many years - had a false alarm scare with a kitten 8 years ago or so. Was hoping to never really need it though.

Have you looked into Care Credit? It's very low or no interest and is only for vet and medical expenses. Some vets take it. Not that I think a visit to a holistic vet is necessarily necessary. People have had mixed experiences with them. I had 6 FeLV+ cats. One, who was also FIV+, lived to about 9 years old. Most of the others lived to about 5. One died at 18 months.
