Hey everyone! It’s true, it’s my birthday today! Apparently I’m already 24 but I don’t really feel that grown up at all! Anyway, I thought I’d try to use this day to help raise some money for Cleo & Satsuki, the two cats we rescued about a month & a half ago. When we first took them to the vet, there were some very wonderful people who donated money to us and we raised an incredible $80. That paid in full their feline leukemia tests which were thankfully negative so they were allowed to join our clan. Unfortunately since Nikki and I are short on money at the moment, we still have not been able to get them any of their vaccinations or have either of them spayed. It would be so wonderful if we could raise enough donations to be able to get their rabies & FVRCP shots so they could be protected against all of those horrific diseases and get them spayed for obvious reasons. It would also be great to be able to make back at least some of the money we’ve paid to have them examined by the vet and treated for fleas, mites & intestinal parasites.

I wish that I didn’t have to ask for financial help and I knew the moment I picked them off the hot street that I was going to be responsible for them but what we spend on these rescues takes away from what we can do for our own furkids at the moment. We’re not asking for help with feeding them or anything like that, we just need some help with their veterinary expenses. Anything you can donate is so greatly appreciated!

To prove that we’re not scammers, below we have scans of our vet bills so far for these two as well as a bill for our personal cats which shows how much vaccinations will be. As for spays, we may try to take them to a low-cost clinic so they won’t cost as much but that kind of worries me since Satsuki has a heart murmur and it therefore might be best to have more monitoring during the surgery for her. In any case, these are the best guesses we can come up with for how much it will cost to get these little girls all ready to go to adoptive homes; we are not trying to cheat you in the least bit. As we raise money, we’ll mark off what has been fully paid for. If you want your donation to go towards a specific item, let us know! Also let me know if you want credit on here (I know some like to be anonymous). That goes for the lovely people who already graciously donated to help these beautiful kittens. Thank you everyone!

Vet Bills

Vet Bill 01 – This is the vet bill for our female cat Akima to show how much it was to get her spayed and her shots. This is to give you an idea on how much procedures cost up here.
Vet Bill 02 – This is Cleo and Satsuki’s vet bill (also known at the time as Kitten 1 and Kitten 2). This is how much we’ve spent on them thus far. The $80 for their FeLV/FIV Tests have already been paid off thanks to generous donations.

Satsuki
Exam: $20 (x2 for vaccination visit)
Feline Leukemia Test: $40 *PAID*
Capstar: $2.90
Rabies: $11
FVRCP: $30 (x2 first series)

Cleo
Exam: $20 (x2 for vaccination visit)
Feline Leukemia Test: $40 *PAID*
Capstar: $2.90
Rabies: $11
FVRCP: $30 (x2 first series)

Our estimate to get both of them spayed is around $120 each (total would be $240). This is based on how much it cost us to get our own female spayed (see Vet Bill 01). Again, this is something that we may get for cheaper at a clinic but the prices for the vaccinations are very fair here. While some of their tests have already been paid for, we can’t do this on our own. For my birthday, I want these two rescues to get everything  they need so they have a better chance of finding a good home. Can you help? If so, happy birthday to me!
