Perhaps you should try the local ASPCA for your injured animal.
Perhaps we should try the local attourney general for your scam. Or,
at least .

Maybe the vets have payment plans? Have you tried asking the clinics you
took the cat to. I also agree with the last poster. See if local rescue
groups can help like the ASPCA.

Call actors and animals in LA. They can help with vet bills. How bad is the
kitty? Does she need stitches? surgery? I can clean her wounds, dress them,
give her an elizabethan collar, give her antibiotics if that is all she needs.
I'm in LA right next to the Beverly Center. Email me

I meant "Actors and Others for animals" Here they are.
http://www.actorsandothers.com/ If she just needs general first aid or
supportive care, I can do that.

WHY WOULD YOU SAY SUCH A THING...I WAS HOPING SOMEONE COULD LOOK AT A CAT
THAT WAS HURT. I DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO TAKE HER TO A VET AND SHE HAD
PUNCTURE WOUNDS ON HER STOMACH. I TAKE CARE OF 9 CATS WHO WOULD NOT HAVE A
HOME OR FOOD OR LOVE. I FEED THEM BEFORE I FEED MYSELF. WHY WOULD YOU TURN
ME IN FOR SCAM.???? I THOUGHT THESE GROUPS WERE TO HELP ONE ANOTHER...I WAS
NOT ASKING FOR MONEY ...I WAS HOPING FOR SOME ADVISE OR HELP FOR THIS
CAT...YOU MUST BE A VERY RUDE INDIVIDUAL

Perhaps you should try the local ASPCA for your injured animal.

The local ASPCA would not be able to do anything for him - ours only has a part
time vet. I found this out when a cat that I adopted from there had FIP. We
had asked specifically if he had a URI and were told "no." We had to
euthenize him 4 days later.

I said what I did because this has all the earmarks of a scam. If it
was 100% legitimate, then please accept my appologies. There are a lot
of SPAM and scams posted here and this looked like just another one.
Posts like the original one pop up several times each month and the
answers are always the same...contact your local shelters. Many of
them will help out if you don't have the finances to do it.

My skepicism is always increased when the same theme is posted
multiple times, even if it is by multiple people. Sorry to doubt you,
but the chain letters also appear to be legitimate and anyone with
half a brain knows they are not.

Bottom line is that the only way anyone on here is going to donate
money is directly to a vet clinic. That is the only way to ensure it
is not a scam. As I said, the best bet is your local shelters, that
way money is not an issue.

The policy at the shelter where I volunteer would have dealt with your
issue. We require you to take the animal to your own vet within three
working days of adoption. If your vet finds a problem, you may return
the animal for a full refund. If your shelter had a similar policy it
would have not been a problem.

I would ask the shelter where you adopted for a credit toward another
animal. Any animal that is bad enough to be euthanized should have
been diagnosed by them. They missed it and they should give you the
credit. The way they treated you is not proper.

Our shelter has two full time vets and several experienced
technicians. Each shelter is different.

Fan:

In our area the ASPCA is a separate entity from the city-run shelter. The city
took over, or it was sold to them, I don't know which or why, about 7 years
ago.

They did tell me to take the cat to my vet, but I got him at 6 pm on a
Saturday. We thought he was depressed and not eating -- he had been there 3
weeks -- we realized 28 hours later that he had positively green ropes of mucus
sneezed out of his nose. This, after we had specifically asked about URI. We
took him to the emergency vet immediately, he spent the night there and we took
him to our own vet in the morning.

It was the next day before our vet could reach anyone at the ASPCA who could
tell us more about what was going on.

Somewhere along the line, someone told us that he had developed FIP because a
corona virus had been mutated by stress. I have never seen FIP before in "real
life". It is partly their fault for not taking care of him the way they should
have and partly my falt for not taking home sooner. than 3 weeks, but I had
other cats at home and therefore figured I would be the last resort (hoping
someone else would adopt him first). I'll not did not make that mistake with
the next one.

I would not have even considered taking him back because he was sick -- you
don't send your kids back because they get sick -- but, we did know that he
was on subq fluids when we got him, we waited 20 minues for a bag to run in.
But again, we just thought he was depressed and not eating, we thought we could
nurse him back to health. I did, however, get a coupon for another kitty.

Fortunately through all this, I had enough sense to keep him isolated from my
other cats until I got an okay from our vet that he could go in the the other
kitties.

I should have taken him home sooner, I did not know that the place up there
only had a part time vet. I always get kicked in the pants when I rely on
someone else to do what they are actually supposed to do, and this cat died for
it.
