I withdrew him from the office this morning, they didnt bring him out until 5 minutes after my boyfriend paid the bill. he was emaciated, and covered in old cat food. the woman claimed that they had force fed him that morning, and didnt clean him up yet. Once we got him out to the car we knew they had known he wouldn't make it, so we took him home. I called my friends vet, and we took him in later. They said that because he was so weak, and that we couldnt afford a surgery at this point that he wouldnt make through, we should just go ahead and let him go to sleep. i dont think ive ever cried so much. I had called all day to the first vets office trying to get test results hoping that maybe that might help or something. When i finally got ahold of them at 5:20, he had already been gone since 3

. the receptionist was rude and said it came back negative, and that i should have him seen by a vet as soon as i can. the one that had been seeing him threw a fit when i told him that i didnt want him in a place where money is the top priority. i told the receptionist that i had already had him seen and that we had had him put to sleep. she said she was sorry to hear that but you know she was full of it. im calling one of the local tv stations in the morning, there are other people who were sitting in the waiting room with me this morning who were telling me their horror stories of that place. who lets these people take care of animals? i understand people need their fees but jesus when your cat loses even more weight in their care and you cant even clean off their little faces, ***are we paying for? i could poor gatorade down his throat and shove food in his mouth for alot less than 250$. this isnt the way its going everywhere is it? i know animals arent people but if they dont think they're important i dont see why they think they can charge out the butt and neglect animals. dammit!
