Cat at my rescue is sick I need donations!
You'd actually have a cat put to sleep for a UTI unless we send money? I'd
be careful of this one people. Though UTI's and the like are serious, I'd have to question how a rescue can miss the warning signs before the blockage. There are plenty. Scratching around in the litterbox and straining to pee is one. Urinating in places other than litterbox is another. Also, crying while using the litterbox is another. The fact that a rescue group would actually have a cat euthanized for this kind of issue if people didn't send them money makes me question their ethical practices. Yes, money can be tight in small rescues but not too many of them will consider putting an animal down if the problem can be fixed as plenty of them deal with vets that either volunteer their time or will do the surgery at a reduced rate. The other factor about this one is that the rescue is outside the U.S. and given the scams we have these days, you don't know if your money is actually going to be used for the purpose of saving an animal, paying someone's salary, or simply put being put in someone's bank account where you never see the person again. Tread with caution on this one people. "Laura" wrote in message news:6eOAh.978190$1T2.256672@pd7urf2no...

Cat at my rescue is sick I need donations!
I got the cat in this condition
I am a very small non profit and the vets in my community don't want to help. All they want is they're money. 1 vet told me that I could pay half now and half in 2 weeks so I paid upfront the first half and he isn't getting any better... they won't do surgery to unblock the partial blockage unless they have the full amount ($467.96) up front. If I don't have the money unfortunatly there is no other option than to euthanise the animal as there isn't even another shelter that will accept the cat. The reason I took him was to try and save him in the first place. The lady I got him from was going to throw Squirt outside. I have refrences from people that have adopted animals from me in the past if you need them e-mailed to you. I have no other option than to ask for help and Squirt only has a couple of weeks before he is totally blocked. Most of my cash after paying bills goes to food for the animals and food for myself. I don't have the extra to put out at the momment. Squirt is on Walthams SD diet right now and he is still urniating blood. I post here because there are a lot of animal lovers here that probably would like to help. Although I am in Canada I don't understand why this is an issue....is this a strict US newsgroup? This is not a scam... and even to suggest that of somebody genuinely asking for help is unfair. Thank you all for your time ~Laura |

This is an outrageous price to be charging. |

Shop around for someone who will do it for 1/2 price. DONT talk to them on the phone, talk in person. Talk to people in other cat rescues. Maybe if you gave them $200 and the cat they would perform the operation. It can't hurt to try. Good luck, but my resources are all tied up at my own cat rescue organization in the Fraser Valley. |
