Ditto! My first cat Gem was pts 27th of August 2008 at the grand old age of 21. Thus, she is also very much on my mind at the moment also!
How old was Jack? And was it the FIV that he succumbed to?

Our local CP will neuter free for those on benefits.

That is not true of all CP's. Mine (well the one I volunteer for) will only give out the vouchers which will cover part of the cost.

catwoman: Jack was pts because of kidney failure in the end.

There are lots of opportunities for free neutering.

You do not neccessarily have to be in receipt of any benefits to have a part or full cost voucher from CP (depending on individual policies of local branches)

When I found my three ferals living in the coal shed I already had two other cats. I contacted local CP asked if they would assist with neutering and I would house, feed and vaccinate for their lifes. They sent me vouchers for all three. SInce then I do a small fund raise for them every year. They do a great job and many cats are betteroff thanks to them.

I did say my local branch, I cant vouch for others, although Im fairly sure they will all help in some way. There is still no excuse, its hardly the most expensive thing in the world.

Re: New to Catsey & need advice on my 1st ever pregnant cat


I have to stick my nose in this thread. I use the pdsa and had simon and kay vac, chipped and neutered there at a fraction of the cost simon was done because it was an emergency though. I apply every six months to have my entitlement renewed. Kado and Guinness i got neutered at a private vet. Troy, Chester and lucky where all neutered at my vets with a cats protection voucher. The voucher covers just the spey there they dont include the ab jab or the pain jab. I will have my Gabriela spey as soon as the vets will allow her to be done. She has about 11 days to go now. I havent posted very much on here as i or anybody deserve the critism that they get sometimes. The majority of people come on here to ask for her not be sl****d off. If a vister that found this site looked through all the threads they would probaly not join in case they got shouted at. On the other hand i respect people views but keep it pleasant as possible. I was going to end my membership on here but i still will need help and your all a part of simon and kays family.
I wish you good luck with the kitties

jane

Re: New to Catsey & need advice on my 1st ever pregnant cat


Only the people who 'the cap fits' will take offense!!!!
The thread was a tiny bit harsh, but if you read it carefully Jessiesmum was the one who took offense to good advice,and kicked off the arguement. I gave her the medical advice she was looking for in a pleasant manner but she ignored my post, with no thanks, instead she carried on baiting poor Elaine and Borderdawn.... To be honest I think Jessiesmum was just a troll looking for trouble!!!!!
Kado I could say more, but I am new to this forum and won't. But have been a guest for many months, WATCHING!!! And I respect what Elaine has to say VERY much.
Mmmmmmm too many cats with very little knowledge, lifting what could be someones pet and can't handle the truth me thinks!
Kado, I wouldn't be so quick to criticise the people you want help and info from. Just a word in your shell like....

Re: New to Catsey & need advice on my 1st ever pregnant cat


I do take realy offense to your attitude towards me. I have a right to comment havent i like you have just done. I have never lifted any cat let alone any animal. The 3 strays i took in aged between 5 wks and 2years where all abandon. They couldnt find any chip on them what so ever. I informed every vet and rescue place around my area for all three of them. I also informed the pdsa and rspca as well they both have my number. I am not critising anybody just voicing a oppion.

I agree with Kado. If you can't be polite and considerate then don't post.
