Keep up on pets' medical needs

Welp, a lot of our pets have been taken care of.. and we acquired quite a few more. We now have 12 cats and 2 dogs. Our three unspayed girls had two litters of kittens each, and one of the grown-up kittens got pregnant before we had the chance to get them fixed.

We lost too many cats and kittens and we miss them, but we have 12 more to care for. (our most recent loss was just a couple weeks ago when one of our males was apparently hit by a car and had to be put to sleep. We were able to bring him home a couple days later and bury him with the rest that we’ve lost.)

All of our females (dogs and cats) have been spayed, thanks to clinics giving lower rates on groups of 5 or more. We were able to get our 6 non-spayed females done for less than $200.. total!

Anyway, just wanted to post a little update on the additions to our little family :)

I need to take all seven of our cats (yes, 7) to the vet. My two haven’t had their annual checkup yet and one has worms for sure. The kittens need their shots and one of them for sure has worms. One of the inside-outside cats bit me not long ago (I was trying to break up a cat fight), causing me to need a Tetanus shot because he hasn’t had his shots. The other cat has never been to the vet.

2 cats need neutered. 3 need spayed. 5 out of the 7 have never been to the vet.

We also have a dog that needs spayed before she ends up pregnant again… plus 7 three-month-old puppies to get rid of. (though my boyfriend wants to keep 3, plus the momma)

We can’t afford this.
