Something I've always wished people would realize is that there are very, very few home remedies out there for cats. The majority of feline injuries & illnesses require prescription medication that can only be obtained through a licensed veterinarian. I know that times are tough right now, for myself included, but animals feel pain just the same as a human does. In my humble opinion, it is better to turn an injured animal over to animal control if you cannot afford to give it the medical care it needs. In all states, it is a crime to neglect an animal's medical needs. People don't like to think about the financial responsibility that comes along with an animal,& I don't understand why. I am a college student & consistently broke. Last year my cat Jose got very sick & I had to charge his medical bills to my credit card. I spent thousands on him that I most certainly did not have. If I could do that, you can certainly spend a much smaller amount for this cat. It's the right thing to do
