The vet costs are ridiculous honestly, I love animals but seriously its ridiculous. I think it would be great if there where some sort of government subsidies or like programs to help lower income people afford those bills. Honestly I don't think this sort of issue is looked at enough in this country....and I don't think any tax money goes into animal welfare, but I think it should. But sounds like aside from that she lived a decent life.

But yeah once when I was staying with some family in Minnesota there was a kitten who went missing, and I went and found her but her tail had got all messed up even had all the fur ripped off anyways it got worse so figured she was going to die of infection or something with the tail so figured it needed to be amputated. Looked up the cost to get a vet and it was far too much money so me and some other family had to cut her tail off my dad did it and I held her, got scratched pretty good but pretty sure it saved her because the tail was getting all infected and she was already chewing on it.
