But I ain't got much choice...
Does ANYONE know of any veterinary office that will still let you sign the animal over to them so they can treat them and then adopt them out?
One of my cats (Skywise) is clearly quite sick, he's now refusing to eat unless I sit with him, I'm pretty sure he's not drinking much, he REFUSES to use the litterbox unless I force him into it and hold him there... And even then he usually doesn't...
I currently have to keep him locked up in the bathroom 24/7, because I can't keep him in my room at ALL. If I do he curls up next to me and pees (Or worse!)...
If he was healthy I was planning on just making him strictly an outside cat... Since we live in Vernonia it would likely be fine... I even got a harness and a tag with all the current info on it that he's been wearing, but...
I just don't feel comfortable doing that when he's sick... The way he's so listless and shivery would make him easy prey for everything that lives out here...
So... Yah... I'm depressed and at my wits end, freaking out and trying to figure out what the hell I can do for my cat when he's clearly sick... And Dad doesn't care, he just wants him OUT of the house. He even suggested taking the cat to the pound, but ESPECIALLY with him being sick I can't do that, they'll just put him to sleep for SURE, as that's standard process with sick animals. (Or so they tell me.)
So, yah... Any advise at ALL?????
