“My husband and I were already struggling emotionally, but then, we lost the two best cats we have ever had. So, after a brief pause, we went out and got two kittens. One ended up getting FIP, a fatal disease for which no legal meds exist. The only cure is a black market medication that you have to purchase from China. So we spent $3k to buy the meds to save his life. The other cat — we were bamboozled by the shelter. They told us she HAD a bladder stone, but had no residual urinary issues. Lies.
“She has spina bifida, and we quickly realized she wets herself in her sleep every day. They also missed a meningocele, so we spent $6k to get that repaired by a veterinary neurologist. I am constantly cleaning up her pee and have to cover all the furniture with washable pee pads. I don’t necessarily regret either of them, as I love them, and I know not many other people could care for them as we do. However, they were definitely pandemic/depression/impulse acquisitions.”
