Caring for a stray (3): Any charitable vets/clinics in greater Chicago area?
Still continuing about the stray/homeless cat I feed...
I don't know if she has been spayed, gotten any shots ever, what her general health condition is, etc. It would give me great peace of mind if there are any charitable vets or clinics in greater Chicago area, who could examine her and provide whatever they deem necessary. I have never had pets, and don't know the scene. We would be grateful for any reference. I don't mind driving 1-2 hours for good quality service. |

I saw in one of your later posts that she comes in to watch TV!!!! Sounds
to me like she found her home!!!! I took in a stray-homeless that I had been feeding outside. I took him in when it got very cold & I was worried he wouldn't make it outside... Well, he was real scared the first few weeks but as I type this he is sprawled out on my, (excuse me, HIS), bed enjoying all those creature comforts like regular food, warmth, etc. By the way, mine has never been outside again and never looked back! He knew how to use the litter box from day one (I had added a little dirt from outside where I had seen him go just so he would get the message_, has never missed the box, and is the mushiest of all my cats.... Sounds like your little one is ready to move in. Maybe try feeding her inside & putting a litter box.... I bet she'd like that! "Ajanta" wrote in message ...

I don't have any specific info for that area, but perhaps a local shelter can direct you to a low-cost vet. Also, ask any of your friends or colleagues who have pets for recommendations. Some vets may be willing to work with your finances if you call them in advance. Good luck, sounds like you have a new owner! -Caroline S. |

LOL, I just recently had this happen to me, except that the break-in period was more like a couple of days. She's been in front of the TV ever since. Outside seems to be a distant memory.
