What bothers me so much about this posting is not the article itself or that they even chose to treat Margie, as I know they would not have done so if they felt her quality of life would be greatly impacted. Tripod cats and dogs often go on to do very well.
What bothers be or I see as significant are the comments afterwards. Normally these kinds of stories bring out the big hearts. I am really shocked to see the folks commenting like they are.
It just struck me as so very odd. An example perhaps of what is slipping away from the hearts of men.
Cat got belted on a bus.
Do they have video?
I will see about writing a check to help and tell my wife too. She is a big animal lover and helps a lot with shelters. Her schedule is more accommodating.
Sign of the times. People who make negative comments about animals, especially cats, are subhuman imo. If their behavior is in sinc with their sicko comments, they need psych help (possible abusers).
The estimated price for their services appear to be high but the training, education, and monetary layout to treat the cat price wise should be commensurate with the same amount other professions get for their services. Unfortunately, veterinarians are the lowest paid professionals on average within the medical community and yet have the most extensive and competitive education. If I had the money that I had donated in services and bad debts I could retire comfortably.
kitty ping...
Poor thing
When i was a small child, we all went out and got in my mom’s ‘64 Buick Skylark. When she started it there was all sorts of thumping and fur flying out from under the hood.
Out came our cat with most of the fur removed down the length of its spine.
The cat managed to jump the power steering belt off and lose all that fur without being injured.
I still do not understand how it could have happened. It spent one of its lives that day I guess.
As callous as they are about abortion, why care about kittens?
YOU? What bothers ME is that I've never read any articles where veterinarians have donated services non gratis for such animals but are more than willing to treat the animal as long the host of volunteers collect the required $2,500.......
Ask your vet if he/she has ever participated in a program where they volunteer their services one day a month to administer aid to animals of owners who can't afford the vet bills...........
In the human medical profession, it's called a "hippie clinic".......
Try having pet snakes and see how dried up the “milk of human kindness” really is.
“I love animals” should mean ALL animals.
FWIW, I’ve never seen a thread here titled “Good small cat gun?” or “Good small dog gun?”.
Glad the cat will be okay.
PSA: Now that winter is here, be mindful that small animals often try to keep warm on car engines.
A quick check saves lives.

The Cat should go apply for Obamacare. The mindless trolls paid by the government to sign up people would probably gladly sign up the cat so they could claim another signee for the propaganda.
When my kitty was sick, I spent close to 3k on medical care during her last three months of her life.
My family said I was crazy, but you don’t put a price on your friends in fur. She was like a member of the family, and I miss her every day.
I am very grateful to my veterinarian for her compassion and all she did to help my girl, and at the end, to make her comfortable,
We lived in Westlake many years ago. Nice town.
