Looking for affordable vet for senior Persian cat

Have a senior (15yo) indoor Persian cat who's had dental issues in the past and has developed some concerning skin bumps. This is the first time im taking him to a vet myself (parents used to do it when I was a kid, but stopped at some point because $$). Im a college student with a limited budget but im willing to sell anything I own for this cat. He gets really anxious about leaving the house, so looking for a good place that's compassionate and will let me be in the room with him. Hopefully affordable without sacrificing quality. I'm located in Coquitlam but im willing to go anywhere in metrovancouver for quality/better price. Any insights are extremely helpful, this is really stressing me out since I also have tuition coming up soon. We haven't taken him to the vet win years and im worried I will need money I don't have.

Organic Shampoo with no broad spectrum preservatives? how is it not going bad ?

*Pls delete if not allowed *

Shouldn't this formulation technically allow bacteria to grow since it's water based, has plant extracts, and doesn't have any broad spectrum preservatives? Am I missing something ?

Here is the ingredient list from their site (this is Carina Organics Citrus Shampoo)

Ingredients:  Filtered Aqua, Capryl Glucoside (corn sugar and fatty capric alcohol from coconut oil), Potassium Cocoate (saponified Cocos nucifera / coconut oil), Glycerin (vegetable), Pinus elliotti (pine) extract, Pinus banksiana (pine) extract, Magnesium Chloride (Magnesium Oil), Olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, Matricaria chamomilla (chamomile) flower extract, Urtica dioca (nettle) leaf extract, Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) leaf extract, Trifolium pratense (clover) flower extract, Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Oil, Pyrus malus (green apple) extract, Ananas sativus (pineapple) extract,Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil, Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) seed oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (guar/cluster bean) gum.

Context:
I'm trying to go zero waste so I've been looking at options for beauty products (skincare, makeup, hair, etc) that are plastic or packaging free, whilst not falling down the "organic DIY! " but also borderline unsanitary band wagon.

I thought of getting shampoo bars and diluting myself into bottles ( I have curly hair and bars just don't work for me), but after some research found out if water is introduced, bacteria grow unless I add a broad spectrum preservative. This led me to a rabbit hole on DIY beauty wiki about preservatives, formulations,etc.

So next solution was to find a refillery since I'm not gonna be formulating my own water based products . My local refillery uses Carina Organics, I was going thru the ingredient list of their shampoo and I don't see any preservatives.. Im new to this so wanted to ask if maybe I missed anything in regards to how this thing is preserved or if it is at all.

Wish courses were required to provide a description on Workday

Everytime I browse over workday , it's so annoying to open interesting course names to no description.. . like Im trynna see all the courses. Having to pause and open another tab every other line just to know what its actually about is so disruptive bro

edit: honestly might be worth it to mass email every prof that doesn't provide description in workday of their course to do so.Alternatively email profs about every course for a description + the last syllabus and have it somewhere for students to actually know wtf they r signing up for

Stubhub sold my tickets for a different price and won't cancel the sale

I bought tix from them for $450cad, listed for $400cad because life happened and I ended up needing the money. Got a message today that they were listed and sold for $295cad.

this has already happened to me before as the buyer, and im pretty sure it has smn to do with them confusing usd with cad ($295usd is $400cad)

in the past I bought tickets that were listed as $30CAD in the CA site and I was charged $41CAD. called them gave them receipts and everything (screenshots, videos) , they didn't do shit because even tho they said I was right "all sales are final"

So I called them about the tickets I sold today and same thing. Obviously never using them again, but im wondering what my options are. I don't want to transfer the ticket because im loosing hella money ( and I rlly need it right now) . If I cancel the sale they will charge me the price of the ticket, which could be anything between $100 and $400 (don't even know if they will count it as cad or usd tap) because every time I log in the price listed changes even tho it says "sold". I haven't received any money and there has been no exchange, the ticket is in my possession.

Obviously I didn't want to just not transfer the ticket as I don't want to screw the buyer over (has happened to me before on Stubhub and I was not given a replacement ticket), but it seems I may have no choice?

I looked into it and if they don't get the ticket they can dispute it to their credit card pretty easily, but I cannot dispute stub hubs cancellation fees or their misrepresentation of my sale. I do have the buyers email so I could reach out to let them know. The concert is 4 months away which should be enough time to get other tickets.

I work at a law firm and my boss told me to just delete the credit card I used/change the number at the bank so they can't charge it, wait for their cancellation fees to be sent to collections , ignore them for 2 years and they are gone since it wouldn't be worth it for them to pursue legally for so little money .

I know its little money but it means a lot to me rn these were literally tickets to one of my favourite bands ever that I ended up selling out of necessity (for lower than I bought them for! they are currently going for $500cad rn) so It rlly pisses me off to get screwed over , again. Furthermore, during the call, they admitted to changing the price but that it would have to be investigated "by an internal team". I screen recorded that thinking it would record it but there is no sound so I have no proof and I didn't think of taking a screenshot when I first posted the ticket either.

thoughts ? has anyone been in this boat and figured out a way out?? im just so frustrated and worried man. genuinely fuck Stubhub
