Yet another owner with a pet in labour and not enough funds to cope when things go wrong. This time a cat. We charge £20 to spay a cat if the owner is on benefits, and the most expensive private vet doesn't charge much over £60. A caesarian via our clinic will set you back at least £200; up to £600 at a private vet. Registering your cat by getting her vaccinated at our clinic will at least entitle her to out of hours emergency treatment at our discounted rates.
Two phone calls from people with multiple cats wanting them taken in for rehoming; which we can't do, because our funds just won't stretch to cover the cost of boarding them all.
One call about an un-neutered tom cat who is beating up other local cats, whose owners want him taken away.
Another un-vaccinated pup with diarrhoea and vomiting. Owners not willing to pay for anything.
Dog who's probably eaten rat, or mouse poison.
