V.T. Eric Layton Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 P.S. You could have had it all taken care of for a lot less than what you paid for that keyboard. Well I have wanted one of these long before I wanted a cat. We all prioritize differently. IIWII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 In many places there are animal welfare groups that have connections with vets who will give a discount on spaying/neutering costs. Yes. This is exactly how I was able to get my outside cats all taken care of earlier this spring. Spay/Neuter w/ vaccinations and tags from the county only cost $10 per cat with the vouchers that the county provided for low-income folks. I'm very thankful. I've donated some items and volunteered some of my services (computer help, carpentry, etc.) at the place where I took the kitties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice but unfortunately I make just enough that it costs normal price. Around here, unless your on government assistance, you cannot get any sort of vouchers. When I lived in Daytona, they used to have the PAWS bus come around and you could get it done for free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 We have a national charity that helps out with poor folk and pets. Luckily there is a branch in my town though I have not needed to use it yet. http://www.pdsa.org.uk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securitybreach Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think I know why Anubis is laying on his back (trying to stay cool) but its looks so funny. The fur is not white on his private area but it's just so thin that you see the skin underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 To get him fixed is a simple and painless operation that costs much, much less than for a female. It will cure him of wonderlust, extend his lifetime. Something to consider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebrke Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 painless operation FUD Well, it's painless because he'd be under sedation. Maybe you can investigate some of the animal welfare groups and see what it would cost, Josh, just a point of knowledge. As Eric pointed out, it'll cost considerably less than if he were a female, and unfortunately he may continue to try to slip out and prowl for eligible females if he's not fixed.

There are none of those types of groups around here. They have shelters but unless you are on welfare, you cannot get it done for free or reduced price.

abarbarian Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 So how did the hairy one take the move ? Does he like shrimp gumbo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 So Anubis disappeared the day after I got here but returned Monday night. I heard a meowing from across the street so I went and looked and what do you know, it was Anubis. I almost didnt recognize him since he lost his winter coat and looked much thinner because of it until I started looking for certain markings and its him for sure. He was gone for about a month and a couple of days. Anyway, I am going to go get him fixed, get all of his shots and get him chipped Wednesday. He still disappears during the day but he comes back everyday at around 3pm and hangs out all night. Once he is fixed, he will not wander as much. As most of you know he was an inside cat for the last couple of years and since I cannot keep him indoors here, I thought he ran off and I would never see him again. I am so happy my little Buddy is back. Here are a couple of pics I just took of him: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebrke Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 That's great, Josh! Too bad you can't keep him inside now but hopefully neutering will help keep him closer to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 It's a real dangerous life for an outside kitty. I wish Anubis the best of luck. I also hope you manage to get a job and a place of your own REAL SOON so you can take Anubis back inside where he belongs. I'm not going to say anything else about this, Josh.

Have you considered finding a family willing to adopt him temporarily/permanently? D*MMIT! I was not going to comment on this again. Don't reply, Josh. I don't want to discuss this with you. I get too worked up about this topic -- not just your situation, but anyone's (any cat's) similar to this. So, in the interest of maintaining a civil discourse and friendships, etc... I'm outta' this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securitybreach Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Anubis seems very happy. He wants to come in but he hangs out in the backyard and is very loveable when I go outside. So much more than he was before. He steadily rubs against me and gives me kisses all the time. I wish he was indoors with me but he is a lot more loveable than he was when he was inside. I plan on building him a nice fort so he will be happy outside for now. He doesn't leave the yard at all now so he knows his area. He is happy besides wanting to come inside. I know it is not what I or he would prefer but I think he is content right now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 He loves to sit in this tree in the backyard: It breaks my heard to hear him meow wanting to come in but he loves his yard and doesn't leave it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
