We believe in spaying and neutering our pets. There are already an insane amount of unwanted cats and dogs being born all the time, everywhere. Since our home has become a safe haven for many, many strays, unwanted dumped animals, and feral cats, we do everything we can to get them all vaccinated and fixed. We try to adopt out the tame, lovable ones to good homes. But, due to the overpopulation of cats and dogs, we are generally forced to keep most of them. These vet bills add up fast. To give you an idea of our vet bill expenses, I have a list of some of the services that we regularly obtain from our local vet, and what they normally charge for these services. Cat Annual (per cat):
Cat Neuter (per cat):
Dog Annual (per dog):
Dog Neuter (per dog):
Heartworm Monthly Preventative Treatment (for six pills):
Prescription Cat Food for some of the indoor cats:
Science Diet Prescription Feline C/D 20 pound bag $40.00 Science Diet Prescription Feline W/D 20 pound bag $40.00 Science Diet Prescription Feline I/D 10 pound bag $25.00 Science Diet Prescription Feline I/D, C/D, & W/D canned food $1.00 per can Prescriptions & other items needed from time to time:
Medicated Shampoo for Sweetie's Skin Allergy:
Because the expense of caring for these animals is so great, some of my friends have offered to help with occasional donations of pet food and treats, as well as cash donations. Since then, I have also started taking all the money from my eBay Store sales, my Tupperware Store sales, the sale of my discounted in stock Tupperware, and my half.com book and video game sales, and using it for My Cat Ranch expenses. All proceeds are used for Vet bills, pet food, and cat litter. I can also accept PayPal donations. We are not a non-profit organization. We are just a family of five, who live in the country, with a lot of love to share with these unwanted animals. Our hearts are full, but unfortunately, our wallets are not. We also accept donations through PayPal, as well as money orders and checks. All cash donations will be used for vet bills. The only time cash donations will be used for pet food and supplies, is if we have no animals in need of veterinary care at the time. However, we are at the Vet's Office at least once or twice a week. So, chances are most likely that we will have Vet bills due at the time of your cash donations. Thank you! I am also looking for coupons for pet food and cat litter. If
you clip coupons, but don't have a cat or dog, please feel free to mail me any
of the coupons that you think I can use. The brands that the animals prefer are
Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, Purina, Meow Mix, Friskies, and Authority. However, they will usually eat
whatever we give them. Except for some of the indoor cats, who are on special diets for
medical reasons. The cat litter we prefer to use is Purina Tidy Cats, Fresh
Step, or Arm & Hammer, as these are the cheapest quality clumping litters with the least amount of mess and smell.
We will also use any brand of clay litter. If you would like to
send us coupons, please send them to: Thank you! |
