We had the sweetest, most calm, cool and collected princess cat of all time! And in comes this young stray whom I had been watching for weeks catching mice or something in this meadow tall grass area across the way...
I won't go in to how she cleverly worked her way in to our household, but ultimately she did...
We initially thought it was a male kitten only the Vet later told us otherwise, and my sweet loving cat, turned in to the meanest cat that ever existed towards this little stray... we immediately brought it to our Vet, to get all the tests and shots, uncertain whether we could find a home for it with someone at Matt's job, and my Vet told us, that if we kept the stray, he had a program with a no kill animal shelter in Maine, that would contribute 1/3 of the bill for tests shots and being fixed, and my Vet would also contribute 1/3 of the bill and we would only owe 1/3 of the total Bill...
Well we kept her.... not really because of the offer... but we fell in love with her, and it was manageable, eventually, with our beloved cat.
The reason for the thread, is that if you are in a situation where a stray finds you, call around to your local vets to see if they have a similar program....
And if they do, then you know you are picking a loving and caring vet....imo.
