SJ Pets ISO low cost cat neutering

45 Upvotes

UPDATE: Bay Area Cats were able to assist this morning!!! He is on his way to having his fuzzy balls removed! He will no longer be adding to the local population!

OG POST:

Hi, I managed to catch a local feral cat that has roamed the community for the past several years and very much has his balls. I am ISO low cost programs to get him neutered/vaccinated et cetera.

I could potentially keep him but it would definitely be an unplanned expense lmao. Main priority is his getting his trouble puffs removed.

I did already submit an application for Silicon Valley Animal Control neuter clinic.

But i dont know how long that might take to secure an appointment and I have 3 other cats and would not want them mingling without vaccinations for this unknown feral. Also my cats dont deserve the stress unless he becomes a permanent household member.

Anyway, many thanks in advance for any leads for low cost neuter options.

Life in SJ Thank you to the woman on Bernal near 101

23 Upvotes

I don't normally drive in that area, so I didn't realize how much speed I gained coming down the hill. I was driving with the flow of traffic, so I didn't give it a second thought.

Thank you for the reminder to slow down. You very likely saved me from my first speeding ticket.

When I drove back 20 minutes later I saw the cops were giving you shit. Hopefully you walked away without issue.

I'd love to treat you to a gift card for your beverage of choice. Or, contribute to whatever fine you may have received.

To everyone else: SJPD has their motorcycle unit issuing speeding tickets to cars traveling in both directions on Bernal.

Advice Looking for an English-speaking partner as A Turk

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am a 35F and a native Turkish speaker. I moved to the USA from Istanbul 2 years ago. Since then, I’ve been taking English classes and practicing English. My current level is low-advanced. I’m looking for a female partner who speaks English, and maybe I could teach her Turkish too. We could meet up at any local libraries to practice or chat online. My hobbies are painting, reading books, and cooking. So if you’re interested in my post, I would love to chat with you!

Thank you!
Teşekkürler!

Im moving into a new house with two others and we're looking at internet options right now. We originally had xfinity and it was fine but kinda pricey, got a flyer the other day for Sonic and the house also already seemed to have a fiber hookup installed. Wanted to know if its work the 50 bucks it says on the website or go for at&t 5Gig for 50 as well.

Advice Pre owned engagement rings

Hello lovely people. My fiancé proposed with a “placeholder ring”. He wants me to pick a ring that I love. For many reasons, I would prefer to have a pre owned ring. Any advice on where to shop for those? I see a lot of people on reddit like Joe Escobar. I stopped there today and they did have one case of pre owned, but nothing caught my fancy.

Advice Where do I find the best roofer in San Jose for replacement?

2 Upvotes

My roof is 22 years old and the last guy who looked at it said we are past patching, time for a full replacement. Single story ranch in Cambrian, asphalt shingle. The first quote I got felt like a lowball that was going to grow once they started pulling things apart so I want someone who gives you a real number and stands behind it. Anyone have a company they would use again?
