Sam cat is at least 14, we always have a family debate over how old she is

she is neutred, stil eat and drinks well, no litter probs
uses her straching post well
she is loving and lets me brush her, trim her claws, and clean her eyes

Sam does seem to get grumpy, for lack of a better word
she bites more, but never leaves a mark
also she is straching us more

I've posted about this before, she a yowler always worse at night, but does
during the day too...we've tried everthing to stop her, feliway doesnt work for
this as doea other behvariral things...squirt gun, loud no etc

Sam is an inside cat not by choice, she can go out on our balcony thats
enclosed

and I have been training to go outside on leash!  old cats can learn
put on her kitty vest 5 minutes a day and distract her w/a treat, doing ok in
that

now...our income has taken a dramtic decrease
I'm on SSI, signficant other is disbaled with cancer and on VA disabity
and he just got hit with a huge medical co-pay

I do want so much to get her to the vet for a good check up
I live in very rural area...none of the vets do low cost care or will even
allow me to payments....I;ve called all 4 in the area

any suggestions???

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

Have you called your local Humane Society or SPCA? What about local
shelters? There has to be *somebody* who can help you to find
treatment for your cat.

Does the local SPCA have a program to help low income situations.  CAn you
offer to work in return for medical services?
Good luck!
