Care for Elderly Pets
I'm in financial peril, and I have a dog and a cat. I was offered help with surrender from a shelter in November, and the week I was supposed to get in touch, my female cat died. This sent me into a spiral of grief and kept me from taking action to find a new home for my remaining dog and cat sooner. My cat is 16, my dog is 13. I've had them since they were 10 weeks old and 9 months. This is a life-altering decision; I do not want to rehome them, and I am aware it would forever traumatize them at their age. However, I can no longer feed them or buy a litter. I have about 2 weeks left of supplies, and I am still looking for help with rehoming. My cat needs to see a vet. He has an abscess or something in his mouth, and I would like to get it seen to immediately if I am able to raise enough funds. I'm sorry to ask for help, sorry to ask it in this way, but if you could help me feed them and possibly get my cat to a vet, I would be extremely grateful. I am currently working with two shelters to also see what help they are able to offer.
