Any advice or experience gratefully received. I have seen a cat on the CPL website and would like to adopt it. It is 4 years old. When I rang up, the woman told me that it has had cystitis and is now on a special diet for life.
Does anyone have a cat like this? and can give me any advice on costs, ongoing problems, etc?
I have googled the food and it can be as much as £34 for 48 sachets, which compared to normal sachets at £10 for 48, is obviously a lot lot more money.
Do they need to have a sachet at every meal? The dry food is £34 for 6kg? How long would this last?
CPL have said that they would cover the cost of any vets treatment for urinary infections.
The lady is coming round for a home visit tomorrow as she happens to be in the area anyway. Is there any area I should be concerned about, or things that they look for?
I don't mind paying a bit extra for food, depending on how it works out monthly, but can't afford to pay 3 times as much.
Obviously I won't take the cat on if I am not prepared to take on its issues/costs. I am speaking to the fosterer tonight to get a better idea.
Thanks in advance.
