Hello lovely people!! Progress on the kittens, we finally found somewhere to get them spayed (as soon as they are a tad older) and it will be $100 each......yikkers....I used to be able to get our ferals done for $5 each, but I guess with the glut of cats and kittens that the area has, there aren't enough vets to go around......this is still cheaper than a normal cost, but dog gone it, don't need this bill when trying to move........we will be having a garage sale and hope we make enough for this project😁It is a good thing Andi took them under her care as the videos she is sending me are so dog gone cute that I know I would have wanted to keep these babies. I told Andi we will foot this whole bill......she is putting in the labor, least we can do is finance it....This just proves the point that something needs to be done about cost for these type of situations and actually for people in general......these days families can't afford the cost of spaying or neutering and that is why they abandon them and the shelters are full to capacity... I also understand it from the vet industry.....their supply costs have skyrocketed and there is a shortage of Vets. I really don't know what the answer is, just kinda venting right now😫

It is not always the money that is missing, often also the insight that it is better for the cats and so much suffering is avoided. Nice that you care, all love Maria =^..^=

Just a stray thought, are there cheaper prices or concessions for those who rescue ferals in Arkansas? It is a Southern state. I was amazed how much cheaper it is in Alabama than it was in metro Atlanta. Might be worth the trip and adopt them out, there.

Wouldn't matter as we will have our hands filled moving 7 cats and don't have the stamina to move 2 additional kittens, so we will pay this to keep our sanity🤪

They are cute! Such a shame about the operations. Our vet gave us a group discount when we took our girls in.

Awww, they are cute! Blessings on Andi for taking on these adorable kittens. And blessings for you and Jim for footing the bill. BTW, where's the update on what the doctor had to say during your appointment?

I forgot to tell you all......I have expected edema and a bit of bony growth but nothing like before.....my main nerve in my face is fully in tact, the nerves that branch off of the main nerve were disrupted and that is why I have all this numbness until they heal which could take months. I am moving air now in both nostrils, but because the right nasal passage is numb I am unable to feel the air and until all the nerves settle and regrow, I won''t realize I have air moving in that nostril. He is gonna do a video visit with me in AR in August just to make sure I am progressing as well as I am now......the shooting pain am getting in the numb areas are the nerves waking up....so all in all a great report!! Thanks for asking, Karen 🥰

In my area Veterinarians are turning down injured animals because they are overwhelmed and do not have enough supportive staff. It is so sad. Costs are climbing also. My girl will evtl need a hip replacement and the cost was already astronomical.

I know, it is just an awful situation that I never thought I would see in my lifetime.....I feel so badly for everyone, including vets, staff, patients, pet parents. animal shelters.......it is just so overwhelming. I pray all will go well with your girl🐶

ich musste doch glatt noch einmal den Übersetzer nutzen . . habe ich doch nicht falsch verstanden, verletzte Tiere nicht annehmen - geht gar nicht, wofür sind denn Tierärzte da? Wir haben zum Glück genug davon, man muss sie sich nur Leisten können, eine Tierklinik ist fast nicht zu bezahlen - arme Coco... Ich habe zum Glück eine tolle Tierklinik gefunden, die genau so teuer ist wie eine normale Praxis, leider eine Stunde Autofahrt was meine kleine Ginger gar nicht mag (und meine Nerven), was tut man nicht alles für die Fellnasen. Bei uns müssen Freigänger-Katzen kastriert sein, ansonsten gibt es eine Anzeige. Liebe Grüße =^..^=
