I understand where you are coming from and like others have said only you know what you can do but I can tell you this - I am on the board of my local Humane Society and I ended up with quite a few cats because they were abused or going to be put down, etc. It got to the point that all my money not going for bills was going to the care of the cats and if my vet had not been very understanding I don't know what would have happened. I ended up in a real mess but I had made them my responsibility and it was years of me doing without so much - I am not sorry but I am much more careful now about what I do. As they became elderly and passed away I did not get another one and now thank goodness I have gotten control of my life again. I still have a couple of very healthy cats and I have my two yorkies and that's it. I learned a very hard lesson that I can't save them all. I am not saying this could happen to you but you really need to think about how much you can afford and if they get sick the vet bills could run very high. |
