Low-cost vet clinic for rescued kit-cat

August 3, 2004

My friend's household has been approached for help by

a pretty beat up kittycat. Her account (the friend's,

not the cat's) of the cat's situation appears below.

Anyone know of any vets who might be able to

inexpensively provide care to get this kitty feeling

well again?

Please email my friend directly sr.

Thanks,

Sandra

And here's the sad tale of Uncle Daddy...

Can you help lead me to information or a low-cost

veterinarian clinic that will help my housemates and I

take care of our new cat friend, Uncle Daddy? He

arrived at our house about a week ago looking pretty

haggard — there’s a bit of his ear missing, his coat

was pretty rugged and torn, and he looked about a

third of his natural weight. He also flinched

whenever anyone tried to pet him. He was definitely

giving off the vibe of an abused and abandoned house

cat. We’ve been feeding him and loving him, and just

trying to decide what the best thing to do for him is.

His health and mood have improved significantly. He’s

still missing fur in a few places around the neck and

spine, and has very tender scabs all over. Does this

sound like a flea problem, or something more serious?

We want to take him in to the vet, but I’m afraid that

if he has a more serious problem, we won’t be able to

afford his treatment. We don’t really want to try

any home remedy or OTC flea treatment, on account of

aggravating his scabs. We’re pretty much completely

in love with him and want to do whatever we can to

help, so yeah, if you know anything, please pass it my

way.
