Pitiful Kitty Update

Tweet

Well, my daughter trapped the pitiful kitty as she called him on Sunday this week. Yesterday I took him to the vet and had him put down. He was not the sort to tame down and the cost to get him healthy would have been astronomical. He had been limping for about a month now and had conjunctivitis very bad. Heaven only knows what else was wrong with him. At least he is no longer suffering, the poor thing. It really breaks my heart when I can't rescue a cat and putting one down is never easy nor do I take it lightly. I always think long and hard on what to do before deciding to put a cat down. But I take comfort knowing that he'll never been afraid or in pain again, the poor thing. I hate to see cats suffer. What really stunned me, though, was the cost! I've put pets down before and it never cost this much...a whopping $95!!! I was expecting maybe $60 or even $75 but this was really shockingly high! What does putting a cat down cost in your area? Anywhere near what it is here? They didn't even cremate this guy for that price...which, I think, they should have included in that high a price. But they were going to charge me more if they cremated him! Can you dig it??? Wow!
