Today was an interesting day, I will try keep the story behind this short.
Basically today when I was in the city with my wife I saw a gorgeous ginger stray kitten. After getting closer, he was in terrible shape, ringworm, fleas possible worms and has bad URI, I asked my wife (yet again) can we take him home and get him to a vet, then find him a new home.
She said I'm a pain in the ass, but I kindly pointed out if she hadn't taken me to the pet shop that day, I wouldn't think 2x about seeing a stray cat. So for a change, she actually agreed
she even said she will take me to the vet thats opened weekend rather than wait til tomorrow. We had to wait an hour for the place to open, had to wait in our car because he may pose health threat to other animals, that took 45mins then we had to go in back entrance to see vet
now this is where the venting starts. The vet gave him a quick look at, said he would only charge for medicine and not his fee due to the circumstances, that parts nice. Heres where it gets ugly, the vet didn't check the kittens sex, didn't give anything for fleas or ringworm, I had to actually ask. ME, now I do have a lot of experience with cats, but I have never ever had to tell a vet how to do his job.
Whats more he told us if we can't find a new home for him, once he is better to just release him to the streets again. :censor::censor::censor:?? what kind of vet is this?
he also said they can't help all the strays we find so don't get any more. We went there just today and we will never do it again, we will wait til the week days should this situation ever arise again. And why won't he help, does he not love animals? I didn't ask him to lower his fee, nor did I go there expecting to. I was willing to pay the price so he should be happy to do his job and take my money, if he doesn't want to give discount then don't.
Surprisingly even my wife is furious that he said to release the kitten again, if we do that, then what was the point of rescuing him the first time???
Anyhoo, please send the kitten your vibes that he will recover fully and that I can find him a new loving home.
Thank you all for listening/reading.
