At the emergency vet around 9:30 pm when I heard angry voices from a back room. He came out to waiting room and was threatening the clerk at the front desk. He stormed out and I was watching the door and trying to figure out what I would do if he came in with a gun. I was right next to the rest room door and sitting next to an older woman with her cat. I was thinking I would grab her and go into the restroom until the cops showed up. He was probably upset that the bill was more than he could afford and they won’t treat until you pay upfront.
I almost started crying when they told me I had to come up with over 3000 for them to unblock his urinary tract or they could just put him down if I decided not to pay. I did not have the money. They handed me a form for Wells Fargo credit application. Instead I called my youngest son. Dan said to have them call and he would put it on his AmEx card and told me not to worry about it because he could afford it and he loves our Turbo kitty too. I cried all the way home from exhaustion and relief. I don’t think they would have extended the credit and my cat was in terrible pain.
I think that man didn’t have the money or anyone he could ask.
It was really a horrible night but my kitty is still here and I am so grateful.
