So...........Jon and I found a stray cat. we were in SIUE's parking lot and I heard loud meowing from under a parked car. Upon investigating, I find a beautiful orange and white long haired cat. He was not front declawed and judging from his teeth and gums, I'd guess about a year old.(don't know the sex,so I'll be switching from he to she and back a lot probably) The cats hair was matted to the skin and will most likely have to be shaved. He was so increadably emaciated you could feel every rib, every vertabret. it was just heart-wrenching. so I picked him up and took him home to nurse him back to health. Now we don't exactly know what to do with him b/c the girl that asked me to look for a cat she could adopt, already got one without me knowing. so hm. The cat will be pretty expensive if we keep him b/c I would have to get him groomed, vaccinated, tested and put on heartworm/flee/tick preventative. all that alone (I pulled up an estimate at the animal hospital I work at) would be close to $200. that's not including medicines he might need if he has any problems. I really don't have that kind of money right now. I'm already in dept with my parents about $300. I can't bring him to a shelter, he is so sweet. *sigh* well, we'll see what happens.
