That's odd. You seem to think that I don't have the funds to pay a vet bill? That's odd. Three of my cats have died in the last 5 years. One from old age. He was 17. One from cancer. He was 14. One died last March. She was 19.
Did you miss the part where I said that my flat had to be sold in 2020 because it was being demolished - I got peanuts for it but I had enough money not to be on benefits for a couple of years - do you think that I wouldn't put money aside for vet bills for my pets?
Every cat that I rescued - I did so when I was in work. I just didn't give them away when my situation changed.
People can't have it all ways. Half the thread is going on about how much money this couple have - now they aren't supposed to have pets.
All my cats are neutered. I fully support the cause of the problem. No I do not. My cats are indoor cats and they are all neutered /spayed
As for your poor people never have insurance comments - also wrong.
You think I'm selfish for having cats when I live below the poverty line? Am I suppose to give away my 20 year old rescue cat who I have had since he was 18 months because someone on an Internet forum thinks that people on low incomes shouldn't have pets?
As I said. Rescues are full to bursting. I rescued my last two cats 9 years ago because the baby of the house was allergic and the girl tried to find a rescue space and couldn't - and was going to put them on Gumtree (where anything could have happened to them).
I very much have helped my pets when they've been sick. Im not an irresponsible pet owner. You've actually posted that I only care about me and nots what's best for my cats. I took a stray in 19 years ago. Neither chipped nor neutered. He had 9 years with me. He wouldn't have survived on the streets much longer.
You know nothing about me or my pets. You've just made assumptions - because I'm on benefits.
