The share my cat thread #5

[~vix~83~]

Our other cat was pdsa treated, but when she was really ill, it happened at night and didn’t know what to do as the vets didn’t have a out of hours line…so took Sasha to a local vet….was £200 before they even looked at her. She was in over nignt and it was over £600 when we picked her up! And felt her care Wasn’t enough ( we said we’d take her to the pdsa for further treatment so think that changed their tune) Luckily we had savings ( on benefits low income) we did take her to the pdsa and that’s where she spent her last week it wasn’t local either. We always said we would give as much as could for the cost ( it’s normally a donation) we gave half.
Been there before and someone gave pennies yet they were in designer gear! Think they may of changed their fee/ donation policy cos people clearly take the mick.

That is good to hear . Really glad she is getting back to her normal self.

Agree about costs for vets - the prices they charge are mental. Plus costs for medicine ( nearly £20 a prescription ‍‍). I have had to pay for 3 lots over the month . I am fortunate that I had enough to cover his operation and other fees. Will struggle if I need to shell out again if he does have to have the other 2 teeth removed. I don’t want him to be in pain.

It is an awful situation to be in - leave your pet suffering because can’t afford or the fees or get a loan/ overdraft to cover.

Insurance seems to be a bit pointless due to exclusions so what am I paying it for? I feel like I am in between a rock and a hard place.

Question to every one - I asked about a payment plan option and was told they don’t offer this as an option . Is this standard? Or is this based on individual practices?

It's the people who in the past they've agreed a payment plan for who then haven't paid, there the ones to blame.
I guess maybe the best way if not insurance is to have a 0% credit card ready for emergencies if you don't have savings?

My babies I love it when they snuggle up together, although I think my chunky hunk has taken snuggling to the extreme here. My poor slinky black girl looks like she just woke up wondering why she couldn’t breathe properly!

This came up on my FB memories today, taken 7 weeks after we'd adopted Merry and her brother Loki. They're nearly 9 and Merry still likes to be cuddled like this .
