-rescued cats- Vet costs

Hi, my name is Jade and I over the years have rescued cats who have been strayed, miss treated, left by owners and more.

First couple years I got so much help of people but the last 12-18 months done it all myself I currently pay out 280 a month to feed and flea and worm the cats, that does not include any vet bills..

Tinks needs more work done on her mouth due to the poor condition of her mouth she had some work done other year but now having more problems needs the rest finished..

She is having surgery on Monday and I am not sure on the cost of this untill she is sedated and had the work done ..

I have 6 cats and ...

This is tinks story...

Tinks

Back beggining of june (un sure of exact dates cannot for life of me remember) i was walking to collect jacob our eldest from his friends and as i walked up the road by me i saw a lady putting tuna down on a lid of a tub me being me knew somthing was not right at all so i asked her did the cat have a home etc what was the matter to which she replied someone she knew had moved out the house 11 days prior and was refusing to come and get tinks, in utter disgust i told the lady i would be back to sort the cat , i got her number so i could update when i had sorted her, i got jacob and nipped to work and grabbed some cat biscuits why i was there to pop some down on my way past which i did. Once home i popped a post on facebook not knowing what to do ( ill keep the story short as possible) a lovely lady contacted me who previously worked for a cat charity after speaking i got my cat carrier and some treats and at 11.30pm at night walked back up to the house to meet this lady so we could take tinks to safety near by lads were fighting and weather was due to turn also, we managed after couple times as tinks was terrified which of course she would be and hungry we got her in the carrier and the lady drove me home. I then tried so many times get in touch with her owner to confirm what i was told was right to which i was ignored. Finally she replied which aload of rubbish to put it politley and what a suprise said she was due to collect her day i got her , i got her at 11.30pm so was she? She the said she couldnt take her as her garden wasnt safe which anyone knows a a cat in a new house cannot go out for 4-6 weeks anyways tinks needed a vet check after being out for 11 days , i got her booked in and turned out she desp needed 3 teeth out as they was in poor condtiton which would cause pain this set me back over 100 out my own pocket , i asked her previous owner would she contribute to cost and she ignored that so i paid for it all and i have given tinks the best start in her new life in our care she had come on leaps and bounds, settled in so so well and is happy and content ( currently asleep next to me all snuggled up)

Again all the costs untill i set up the just giving page has come out of my pocket since i took the first rescue in nearly 3 years ago!

Thank you for reading a quick cover of Tinks's story how she came to us

She is due to need more teeth out as her teeth are growing back into her gum :( so i am working on the just giving page to save money to go towards food , litter, vet etc bills
