It's safe to say last week was a really bad week. It started with what should have been an enjoyable three day weekend going pretty well on Friday and Saturday...until I realized my cat was sick...turns out, he ate 2 yards of yarn. It was Sunday, and apparently animals don't get sick on Sundays OR Holidays because absolutely no vets were open. I waited until Monday to see if any regular vets would be open on Labor Day but I was out of luck. I ended up taking Kitty to a 24 hour emergency vet and paid them $500.00 to tell me he needed emergency surgery that would cost $5,000.00. I was in tears, that's a lot of money! I thought there was nothing more I could do for Kitty and that I would have to put him to sleep. We took him home but didn't give up. I decided to call Last Chance Rescue where I got Kitty, as a last resort, to see if I could surrender him to them so they could help him. They refereed me to a sister non profit clinic, which was about to close but I tried my luck. They answered and told me to bring Kitty in immediately...they did emergency surgery the next morning, even though they weren't open and I spend the rest of the week at home taking care of recovering Kitty and giving him his medication. The whole thing worked out in the end, I just wish it never happened to begin with!
