*****UPDATE***** (ESPECIALLY FOR TWW ANIMAL/VET PEOPLE - HELP!!!)

so my kitty (that was supposed to be spayed today) has an upper respiratory infection and the shelter just called and said they can't spay her because it isn't safe until she is better. they started her on antibiotics (and, FYI, she tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia). so they want to know if i want to pick her up via the "foster to adopt program" (basically i pay a $200 deposit and i can bring her home and whenever she gets spayed i get a refund). i definitely want to do this. i just called the shelter to let them know but had to leave a message bc no one was available. i'm going to call back later obviously. but my questions now are:

1) say i pick her up on thurs and she has been on her antibiotics for a few days - i have another kitty. what would you do? keep them separate (i mean i was likely going to do this anyway a) because she is new so i wanted them to get used to each other's smells/paw underneath the door for a few days,etc and b) because i thought i'd be picking her up with stitches and i didn't want her to rough house with my other adult cat). if she has been on the medicine my other cat shouldn't get sick too, right? when i adopted my other kitty she also had an upper respiratory infection so i'm familiar with those and caring for sick babies but i obviously didn't have another animal that was going to get exposed at the time.

2) i can take her back in a few weeks to get spayed through the wake co. shelter program ($50) OR i can get her spayed at my own vet. typically when you adopt, they just spay them at the shelter then you pick them up. but now i have a choice and i was just wondering what other people would do? obviously getting her spayed at my regular vet will be more expensive but i know some of you have worked at the shelter or know more about vet students performing surgery/shelter surgery v. surgery at a regular vet. does it matter? or would it if it was your pet?

i'm going to call the shelter back later to ask about #1 (IF they don't call me back first). i really want this kitty and i'm not going to give her up just because she is sick with a treatable infection!

THANKS

I did the Foster to Adopt program with my puppy... he was too young to neuter there so when he was old enough I just went to the SPCA and they contacted the shelter to let them know he had been spayed. Got the refund soon after.

9/28/2009 2:36:33 PM

ok cool thanks that is pretty much what i wanted to know - yea they said the alteration would be done through the SPCA. i just wanted to see if anyone else had done the same thing!

9/28/2009 2:37:29 PM

its not even your cat yet

so throw it back and get a healthy one before your stuck with it

9/28/2009 2:44:30 PM

um no.

it IS healthy. it just has a cold. my cat has had the same thing before - it will be fine.

9/28/2009 2:45:01 PM

aww

she looks like my cat named lily who left and never came home. we're pretty sure the old man on the corner who traps & shoots squirrels & rabbits got her.

9/28/2009 2:46:37 PM

Ok but dont come crying to me when it gets Cat AIDS within the year

This made me giggle a bit - my parents had a streak of about 20 years when all our pets were named after Greek or Roman gods. The best cat was Persephone. She lived to be 21. You're welcome to use the name

My vote is for Isabella

9/28/2009 2:51:56 PM

aww she's so cute

9/28/2009 2:52:07 PM

my cat tested positive to FIV about 12 years ago or so

that evil fucker isn't going to die nearly that easily

I called this number:

"Make an appointment for your pet? Call 919-772-0211. Call between 1pm-5pm Monday through Thursday. "

I'm not sure what the wait is for right now but I got Gambit in there no problem (granted, I had to wait like a month before I could even take him since he was so little). You drop them off at 7 (or 7:30) and pick them up at 5 that day.

9/28/2009 2:53:07 PM

i'd prolly take the kitty home
keep them separate
get it spayed at the spca


profit?

9/28/2009 2:53:36 PM

I joke kadwackle

best of luck with your pussy

9/28/2009 2:53:41 PM

ohhhhh i LOVE this name

Quote :

" Persephone"

!!!!

haha my other cat is Callie. that is funny one name is all elegant and the other...not so much. but Callie is very pretty and the new kitty might need an elegant name cause she's not as much of a looker

cute for sure, but not exactly gorgeous! haha

^^^ ok thanks! i'll ask them how long i'll have to wait; hopefully just until she gets through her meds

^^ yea i think i'll probably end up keeping them separate. just to make sure. i'll definitely asked them. called again and still got the machine

Absolutely. Pets are an excellent opportunity for you to display your knowledge of arcane historical figures (real or mythological). Of course, in the South, it is also an opportunity to show your reverence for Confederate leaders by naming your animals after them

Both my uncle and my roomate in college had cats named Mosby.

"Persephone"

I can't hear that name without thinking about Herb Powell getting angry at his designers on the Simpsons.

9/28/2009 3:01:25 PM

Name her Mokey!

9/28/2009 3:18:20 PM

yayyy ok i just talked to them and i'm picking her up wednesday and then i just need to keep her separate from my other kitty (just as a precaution) and after 10 days she'll be able to go back and get spayed!!

and after consulting some other greek goddess names, i really like artemis even though it sounds kinda manly but i like the hunter aspect! it seems cat like

9/28/2009 3:23:50 PM

artemis...as in artemis clyde frog?



or like the fat chick in It's Always Sunny

9/28/2009 3:26:31 PM

CUTE CAT OMG

9/28/2009 3:34:01 PM

ok i also really like: hatshepsut (but that is kind of a mouthful) and nefertitti (haha nefertitti is just fun to say)

yay. i'm going to keep looking into female historical figures that i like and try to find a cool name.

9/28/2009 7:30:54 PM

pretty sure i'm naming her elsa!

i loved born free.

i pick her up tomorrow i will post pics asap! little sicky is getting all set up in my bathroom. poor baby.

9/29/2009 11:07:36 AM

you're gonna leave her locked in the bathroom for how long?

9/29/2009 11:08:23 AM

well either the bathroom or the bedroom. she'll sleep in the bathroom and stay in the bedroom during the day.

they said 10 days but i'll probably cheat and if my cat gets sick oh well i'll suffer the consequences.

9/29/2009 11:09:39 AM

just so you know, i tried to do that with Biggie when i first got her, and after 2hrs of listening to her MEOOOOOOOOOOOOOW from the other side of the door, i said TO HELL WITH THIS and let her out
