Im seriously considering adopting squeak (
http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,32609.0.html) I adore him
Lucifer and sparecat don’t exactly love him but hes very non confrontational and theres nothing they wont get over in my opinion, they’ll sleep within smacking range
Im not exactly flush with cash but ive just been given a small payrise and belts could be tightened ( non feline belts!!
) By my reckoning monthly costs should be around 7 insurance, 20 food, 5 litter and 4 worming and frontline = 36 permonth plus yearly vaccs and collars and toys:innocent:
Squeaks been aged as 4 years and was neutered in may. He has a watering eye which the vet thinks is due to a previous feline flu bout or Chlamydia but has said to keep an eye on it and its not worth treating? It doesn’t appear to bother him.
From a brief look he seems to be missing some of the small front teeth but none of the big ones
So I think I can cover the general costs and still foster but I worry about dental care in particular- obviously this is a possibility with my 2 but they’ve had years of me controlling their diet and dental biscuits as treats so would seem lower risk to me. Obviously anything that needs paying WILL be paid, come hell or high water the cats come before everything else but realistically im not currently in a position to afford frequent dental work.
Giles was never an option to adopt, he upset Lucifer too much to stay forever. So am I just adopting the first cat I can and will I feel like this about every cat? Were short on fosters at the mo so ive offered to double up as squeaks out all the time now leaving the spare room available to isolate which will hopefully give me a better idea.
I live in a small 2 bed terrace- is this enough space for 3 permenant residents ( and possibly a foster)
I don’t want to stop fostering, but am i stretching myself too early?
Thoughts and opinions please! Im really struggling to decide for sure!
