Thistle Thorn hasn't added a story.
Lots of you (my friends) have seen photos and little videos of my kitty, Moonshadow. She's fifteen years old, as of July, and because she is now a senior cat, despite her energy and playfulness she has difficulty reaching her hindquarters and other lower parts of her body, as well as just under her forelegs, to groom herself. Being a longhaired cat with extremely fine, soft hair, the hair mats easily, and she bites and scratches whenever I try to brush or comb her (even though she is a very lovey kitty most of the time). Within the past two months, the mats have gotten beyond what little I can do at home. I've had the vet shave her bef0ore, but the mats weren't quite as bad those times, and this time he thinks that we can't avoid the option of putting her under general anesthesia for the procedure. The cost will be $300 (including the office visit and her yearly rabies shot, and, hopefully also cover the Lyft fees to the vet's office and back).
I'm very comfortable with my vet, and Moonshadow likes him, not to mention that the office is close enough to make the car ride too short for Moonshadow to get car sick.
My income is still approximately $50 a month (and SNAP food stamp benefits), so this cost is beyond me. Normally, her mats can be shaved with no sedation, but this time they just got too bad too quickly. Any help that you can give is hugely appreciated. Moonshadow is my baby; I hate to think of her being in discomfort. Many thanks!
