I just called a local opthalmologist and they said they generally wait until a kitten is 6-9 months old anyway because the eye changes as they grow so they want to wait until they're fully formed, and as well as that they can sometimes "grow out of it".
They also said the surgery costs $800-1000. Will anyone want to adopt a kitten who is going to need $1000 worth of surgery in 3-6 months time?
Do we want to adopt her knowing she's going to cost a whole lot of money soon? DH loves her, but doesn't really want 3 cats, and knowing how much she's going to cost isn't exactly going to win him over.
I don't know what to do
Oh Sarah thats great news! Congratulations on your new baby girl!!!Originally Posted by sarahp
We're keeping her and paying for it ourselves. We actually realised today that we have a bit of a windfall coming our way soon that was supposed to go into a savings account, so we can put some of that aside for Smudge. The world works in funny waysSo that takes some of the pressure off us!
She knows who needed convincingOriginally Posted by sarahp
Thanks guys! Yes, he is a wonderful husband
As is usual, we were sitting on the couch, she jumped up, walked over me and snuggled up to him and nuzzled his faceI have no idea why she seems to prefer him but I'm not complaining!!!!!
