I’m sorry :( I hope your kitty will be okay. I have a $4K vet bill to pay too, but i love my cat, as I’m sure you do yours, so we make it work, no matter the sacrifice. Anyway, best of luck <3

Reading this while working a shift that will put me at 85 hours of work this week. Will be able to buy groceries this month and pay for the surgery my cat needs. Also, am tired AF.

Vet bills are the worst, but my cats don’t have the option to do anything about their situation or choose to work different jobs or change things about their life so it feels wrong to decline medical care and potentially make them suffer when they don’t get a say in the matter. I can make that choice for myself and my own medical care, but it feels cruel to make that choice for them, you know? They’re stuck in whatever life I give them, so I try to make it better than mine.
I hope your cat is ok!

I wish my ADHD and other issues would let me work 85 hours a MONTH with my toddler around all day every day. I’d be able to pay myself a very decent salary for the part of my country that I live in right now.
Best of luck to you and your kitty.

Oof, I don’t know how I’d function if I had a toddler. Single parents amaze me, I can barely function as a single person. I have pretty bad ADHD and work is an absolute white knuckle struggle, but I have absolutely no one since my last relationship failed and I don’t want to be homeless so I cry a lot at home and then slap a smile on and grind through my shift.

See, now I have to know what’s wrong with the kitty.

Yeah, will the kitty be OK?
(Also, all the best for you, I hope things change for the better real soon.)

Kitty will be ok, thank you. Just needs teethies taken care of. If we’re lucky not pulled, just anesthesia and deep cleaned, so not really surgery, but still expensive as hell. If not lucky, teeth pulled and painkillers, so more like surgery. He goes in tomorrow, both of us will be very unhappy.
