Subject: Re: emergency advice on starved
cat needed
I look at it this way... if they wanted the cat
in the first place, they would have posted her as missing at all the local
vet's offices, so I've done enough already.
I just went to tend to her, and she can't get
up. Her back is very unstable now. She is going to need surgery to stabilize
the fractures (I am sure it is her back now). I'm going to call around
tomorrow and see how much it is going to cost. If there is any way I can get
her fixed, I will do it. I REFUSE to let this happen AGAIN. It's almost as if
I have been given another chance to do the right thing this time. I don't know
if you remember me ever telling you guys about Do-Dah... he broke his back,
and at the time I was told to euthanise him and was not given any other
options, and even if I had had them at the time, I could never have raised the
funds to get him fixed (I was 8 months pregnant at the time and couldn't
work). Then there was KiKi, he was hit by a car and I did not get to him in
time, and he died because I wasn't responsible enough to keep him indoors. And
then Moogie, who looked as sick as this cat did when I first got her, she
died, and I've already gotten Bones past that point with home nursing.
This is SO deja-vu, it's almost pushing me in the direction of believing in a
higher power. KiKi was hit by a car, most likely this cat was too; Do-Dah
broke his back, most likely this cat has too; Moogie was bone thin,
dehydrated, and weak, this cat was too. I've regretted my mistakes the last
time for years, and have always wanted to "make it right", and now, here it
is, right in front of me. I am NOT going to let this cat die from injuries
that can be fixed. I don't care if I have to work 60 hour weeks and beg on the
street with a tin cup. I'm going to find out which vet around here can DO this
kind of surgery tomorrow, and I'm going to ask them if I can arrange to send
donations directly to their office. If that's doable, then I will do a very in
depth donations campaign online and see if I can get some funding that way
too. Of course, I plan to spend every dime I have to spare on her too. Pay
rent, buy cat food, buy the minimal amount of human groceries, and put
everything else into Bones. I am NOT going to be forced into the same corner
again, I refuse to take no for an answer this time. I will buy this cat a
wheelchair if she needs one. This is not happening to me again! If this is
some sort of test, I will pass it, If this is some sort of redemption, I will
be redeemed. I am not going to fail, I will not let this cat down! I know I
must sound crazed, but if you had been in my shoes, you would be this way
too.
