This is the scratching post I'm getting her

SlumberKitty · Jan 25, 2022 at 05:24 PM

My therapist has Covid. She cancelled on me yesterday which is totally fine and rescheduled me for today. She says she feels a lot better. I hope so. I told her that if she needs to self care I understand. But so far we are "on" for tonight at 6 PM

So alas, I don't think that Helen is getting one.

I want to get Stash a cat tree eventually but it will be awhile down the road because it's not in the budget at the moment since I'll have to pay to get her spayed soon and get her shots. I'm thinking I'll probably get a medium sized one maybe in the summer

I need to save up to buy a new TV so that way I can watch Britbox in my room.

Helen already has two medium sized ones. I think we can fit a big one if we put one of the medium ones outside for Amelia!

Check with your city or with a bunch of different vets. Sometimes they have free or low cost spaying/neutering because they don't want the population of strays to grow.

Okay I'll have to do that, I'll ask my care manager if she knows of any programs around here like that, she tends to know about those things and she gave me the cat

SlumberKitty · Jan 25, 2022 at 05:51 PM

Also do you have a Petsmart by you? You can get insurance there which will cover her shots. I have it for Amelia and Helen. It's $33 a month per cat and it covers everything preventative. IDK if it would cover spaying though. It covers two comprehensive checkups a year and it covers as much times as I want to take them to the vet. It might be cheaper in the long run to have a recurring bill than to have to pay out of pocket for shots and stuff. The one through Banfield (Petsmart) is a wellness plan. So then I got pet insurance through a company called ASPCA Pet insurance. It costs me $56 for both cats and it covers if they get hurt, sick, or injured. I think its worth it because I didn't have that insurance on Esther and I was paying out the wazoo every time I had to take her to the vet for her diabetes. Even the medication and food would have been covered under the sickness/injury plan.

If she doesn't know check with your cities animal shelter. They usually know that kind of stuff too.

SlumberKitty · Jan 25, 2022 at 05:55 PM

Also keep in mind you might have to pay for the cat hood and the antibiotics after she is spayed. That might be a separate cost so be sure to ask, okay?

I just checked on Petsmart's website, it would be $33.69 per month, I can do that. How does that work with getting her shots, do I just take her to any vet?

Blue_Bird · Jan 25, 2022 at 06:07 PM

I just found a veterinary hospital locally that is part of a low cost spay program, I'll have to call them and find out how much it costs, they have a referral form and it has boxes to check if you're receiving SSI or Medicaid, which I am, so I assume that determines the cost

Desoxyn · Jan 25, 2022 at 06:15 PM

Good day skiing! No problems so far without atenolol. I took todays olanzepine which could help me focus - Cuz I can barely pay attention without it.

You have to take her to Petsmart, they have a vet in the back of the store called Banfield. They will do all the shots and two comprehensive exams per year for that price per month. It's really saved me a lot of money. Usually the vet bills would be like $500 for Esther. So far I've paid $20 to get Helen adopted, spayed, and chipped, and $45 for some medication which went towards the deductible on her other insurance. For Amelia I just paid the adoption fee which was about $50 I think for her. Everything else has been covered, but Amelia was spayed already when I got her.

Great news! Also make sure to ask how much the Collar is for after the spay and the antibiotics if she needs them. They don't always need them but my vets have always recommended it just because it is surgery.

HUGS for everyone who wants one! I'm heading out for the day! HUG HUG HUG! Kit

Desoxyn · Jan 25, 2022 at 06:28 PM

No.. I'm just annoyed that my parents expect me to make them money when they both allowed my moms ex to contribute to my suffering - And now time has passed.. When I could have spent time working with my mind, having hobbies, going to school, etc.

My mind grew the wrong way - And I snapped it with the trip. I could have been psychotic forever. But my brain at that moment was like a puzzle that barely allowed me to get by in this moment.

No one understands what happened to me - They just expect me to stop complaining and carry on.

That's why I can't work for anyone anymore - I tried trades. But inside of me was a combination of screaming from being burned alive and yet also dead inside.

I don't want to do anything physically - I want to use my mind. But it's almost fried up. Idk if it's a glitch in this simulation that I don't think anyone will ever understand.

It's always like I'm talking to myself when I say these things
