Re: someone asked me for help financially....


Without knowing the whole story I can think of two scenarios:

a) She has suddenly fallen on hard times financially but wants to do the right thing for her cat

or

b) She is cheap .......

I think maybe naivety has a lot to do with it rather than any deliberate desire to deceive (but I tend to look for the good in people/situations . . . )

Heheh I am the same as Yola... I was thinking if she was desperate for just that breed and stretched herself financially to get it or paid over the odds....

Still doesn't excuse it tho I guess

Re: someone asked me for help financially....


As a breeder I would be appalled if one of my kittens new owners had done this. If you can afford to buy a pedigree then you should take on the expense of having it neutered. I do not work due to my kids disabilities and therefore I am on benefit but I have never expected the PDSA etc to pick up the tab for my choice of pedigree cat.
If I was the breeder I would want to know about this and I would then refuse to sell them a kitten. If they can't afford the neutering, which they knew about when buying the kitten, how are they going to cope with unexpected vet bills. I would be really worried for my kittens if it was me.
