My heart goes out to this poor poor cat. What I don't understand is when you take on cats/ kittens why are there some ppl that do not look further ahead and realise all of them will get ill at some time. You must have the funds to look after these beautiful animals. Like insurance or at least be in a position to put something by. When your animals are ill you take them to a vet, and maybe ask him if you can pay a certain amount most vets will do this monthly if they don't you find one that does. I'm sooo angry this is abuse. If this persons mother was ill she would ring dr etc. why does it make it right that in her eyes she will not help this cat she owns!!!!! I'm not sorry for posting this I'm a animal lover who does right by my animals. I would starve rather than deny any of my animals love n careOP says she is 16 years old- her profile says she is 23 years old. Is it her account or someone else's she is using? I am just here for the update- its been a while since she posted anything.
