For the Heck of it!

I picked Lilly up from the Old Lady’s house this morning at 8:00 am and took her to the rescue center’s clinic to be spayed and micro-chipped. Both are included in the $60.00 adoption fee which I think is a terrific deal. It would have cost over double that amount to have both procedures done in my usual vet’s office.

When I picked her up from the clinic at 3pm after her surgery I found out that the shipment of chips didn’t arrive in time and that I would have to take her back YET again next week to have the chip inserted. arrgh!

I felt so sorry for the little girl. I’m sure she is experiencing a lot of discomfort due to her surgery as well as her swollen, um, do you call them breasts on a cat? I guess you’d call them teats. At any rate she was removed from her kittens this past Saturday and she is very swollen and must have been very uncomfortable even before she was cut open. My heart goes out to her. I think I’m too overprotective of this cat that doesn’t even belong to me (yet) but I can’t help it. I already love her as if she were my own.
