My vet is so wonderful. He is going to only charge CATS Inc., half of what this operation would normally cost. The original estimate was $1,300.00 but they are going to now call it an “extended neuter” and only charge $600.00. So basically, tomorrow when Stumbles goes in for his neuter, they will also pin his leg and cast his leg. I dropped the vaccinations off at the clinic earlier (to help cut costs) and they will vaccinate and flea treat at the same time. He will be on cage rest for quite awhile but they will keep him until Friday. I can set up a big padded cage in the living room, off the floor so the other kitties have to work to visit with him. I still have some leftover x-ray film so I can make him a custom-made e collar.

Hang in there, Stumbles. Billy White Shoes went through a similar operation/recovery process, and now he is running all over the place just as crazy as he ever was.
Thank you for taking such good care of all the animals and you are right with what you told your husband. I myself try and take care of the strays here at our apartment complex. One of the toms is very friendsly andk eep trying to get in our apartment. Maybe somehow I can get him fixed but right now I am struggling to see our monthly bills are paid. I try and keep up with your blog and I enjoy hearing about how the kitties are doing.
I sent a contribution yesterday. I’m sorry it was so small, but I’ll try to get some more soon. The amount probably won’t be any greater but hopefully it will help.
Thank you to those of you who are helping Stumbles- only $448.29 to go!!!:)
