On the way to the gym this morning I watched this baby kitten nearly get run over about five times scared shitless in the middle of the road. Finally me this woman and her daughter were able to get out there stop traffic and rescue him. He kept hissing at the girl but let me pick him right up. They took him to the vet and as I drove to the gym I realized. I want this cat!! It's all black like guess what, a panther. I helped save it's life!!! I already thought of a name for him. Keek!!!!!!! So I decided to call some vets and guess what? First one I call is where they took him. So I've been in contact with the woman and I can have the cat. Here's the issue, spending roughly two hundred dollars to get all his shots will make things tight for a while and there is no chance I can afford to get him declawed at the moment(he'd have to stay inside). So should I suck it up for a little while or let them find him another home? Sorry the post was a little long im just really torn.

Why declaw the cat? If it's that young, it can be easily trained to not use the furniture as a scratching post, if that's your concern. Simply purchase a scratching post or make one from carpet scraps the local Home Depot or Lowe's will sell you for next to nothing. Please, if there's any way possible you can your way to not declaw the cat, it's better for everyone. Also please know that some vets will no longer perform declawing as they view it as inhumane.

 

I'd be more concerned about getting an accurate age so that he (you do know it's a M or F, I hope?) can be fixed before he starts spraying.

Well the lady at the vet says she's fairly sure it's a boy. Not quite sure how she wouldn't know for certain, but that's what she said. It appeared to be about 8 weeks old or so. I just wanted to know up front how much everything was going to cost me before I commit.

Owning cats is not very expensive. I share my home with three. Like Anybodyhome said, scratching can be easily controlled with a post or scratching pads. And I agree, at this point the most important thing is to get it it's shots and get it fixed ASAP. If it is a boy and starts spraying, he will quickly fall out of favor with you. I think they can be fixed at any age but I'm not sure. Interestingly enough, one of our cats was a rescue (from a hospital parking lot) and he was a kitten (a black one too) on the verge of death. He has turned out to be one of the sweetest, most appreciative animals I've ever been in contact with. He too looks like a black panther and weighs almost 30 lbs. And his name is Jake  :lol:

Yeah im not doing that, I was just throwing it out there because the lady at the vet asked me about it. But I am getting the cat. Trying to sell my tickets to the game tomorrow now. Anyone interested.

 

 

Have it euthanized.  I didn't realize you were thinking of doing something this desperate to pay for the medical costs.    :)

Find a new vet. Most vets won't even declaw because it's an inhumane practice. Any vet that offers declawing procedures, outside of emergencies (I don't even know if a declawing emergency exists), is not a vet that I would want to go to.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
