The Vet Thinks My Cat Is Blocked But Is Charging An Outrageous Price. I’m Not …
The vet thinks my cat is blocked but is charging an outrageous price. I’m not currently working due to my own health issues. What can I do to save my baby?

Hello,
Here’s what I would do. Ask them what is included in the estimate. Ask for an itemized invoice and ask if anything on that list is optional. And then ask why. Ask for it all in writing. And then call every rescue and shelter you can fund and ask for advice. If your cat is blocked ask for the vet to at least remove all of the urine from the bladder to buy you some time to find a place that is affordable.
If you wouldn’t mind please add all of the information you collect to our stories page to help others.
A cat who cannot urinate will die. Do these are truly emergencies. But the price has gotten so high for them that sadly many people have to euthanize in lieu of treatment.
