In a
tough economy, when a cat suffers from a disaster like being hit by a car or
developing a chronic illness, what’s a responsible pet owner to do when they
can barely pay their bills? Help is available for just these situations.
Programs such as the Feline Veterinary Emergency Assistance Program or the
resources listed at the Yellow Dog Blog can help you pay for the treatment that may save
your cat’s life. Local humane societies often offer free or low-cost
vaccination and spay/neuter clinics. If you’re fortunate enough to have a
little money to spare, why not start a good Samaritan fund at your local vet
clinic, or let them know you can help if there’s a special case?
