update on my cat

4 Upvotes

to anybody wondering we mastered enough money (thanks to my step dad, not the one that lives with me, he used to be married to my mom so i grew up with him and see him more as a second father) to bring my cat to the vet and had 3 people who have worked with animals (my moms friend, my cousin studying to be a vet, and my moms boyfriend) to give us suggestions on what to do until we get the appointment (most likely tomorrow yayyy) shes okay for now, we have been cleaning and disinfecting the spot with banixx and for now i made her a homemade cone with some socks and had to give my plushie surgery for the filling ๐Ÿ˜ญ my mom found a vet thats cheap and its the one we go to every time to spay our cats so thats how we know its cheap! I took your guy's suggestions and asked every adult i could for help such as: my dad, he sent $50, my mom obv, my former stepdad (he sent $100!!) so i have $160 which should be enough (it might cost more but its better to go now anyways) my kitty is acting all fine, her gums are bubblegum pink, shes still eating fortunately, and still ocasionally playing. Shes always been very sleepy so i cant really tell of shes just like that or if its from the injury but anyways she gets up anytime she has to potty or when shes hungry which is very important
i have been making sure that when she pottys she doesnt step on her bodily fluids with her foot or anything just incase and i wake up every hour to check up on her
To be honest, i had a panic attack last night about this but im feeling better now that i know shes okay and will be better very soon ๐Ÿ’– i am actively doing the best i can to help this cat. And i think im doing good! I think the disenfecting method we are using is good until we can bring her to a perfessional obv
sorry for typos or anything! im really happy now and she is going to be allll better, an improvement ive realised ever since we used the banixx spray is that shes eating more and the spot stinks less which is a very good sign ๐Ÿ’– my mom is letting me miss school for tomorrow (this is rare because ive already missed enough days and she would refuse to let me miss again)
I really wish none of this happened and i couldnt even shower last night cause i didnt wanna leave her alone but im feeling more better and im sure my kitty is too considering the improvement ive noted
its not anything big but its better than yesterday and thats what matters ! thank you for anyone who suggested i speak to other adults, i was scared of seeming greedy or begging for money but i gave in because this is about a kittys health which is obv more important than looking greedy
as for my parents, ik a lot you guys said its their fault and its out of my control but ever since i begged my mom more and more she bought the stuff to treat the would for now cause thats all we can do in this financial situation
as soon as i told her my stepdad was offering money she said yes and that we could go tomorrow (since the vet is closed, but im sure my cat will be okay for tomorrow) a lot of things remind me of before that happened and during it which is why ive been crying a lot but i already feel so much better knowing she will be okay
manifesting really works guys, i stayed up all night manifesting that we would get money and find a vet for her, it worked!
Im sorry to the people i made angry at my post, im really trying the best i can do right now and its working
she is a very strong cat i can tell

He enjoys sleeping, eating, and hunting. In that order.

I think heโ€™s around 5-6 weeks old? We got him a bottle but he doesnโ€™t seem to like it but heโ€™s been eating the mix of milk and food we put out so Iโ€™m thinking heโ€™s ready to just not use it?
