I rescued a kitten a few weeks ago. Her name is Toulouse Minouse Fluffbottom and she is the sweetest creature, but possibly also the most expensive.

Egh, I know the pain. At $500 right now, and I've only owned the angel for three weeks
Oooh boy. Are there any shelter's wiht low cost vet care near by? Cause my bill would have easily been close to 1000$
if it weren't for those.
if it weren't for those.
Heh, it's worth it though.
Also, it's only at the start they cost this much, soon she'll be well and won't need attending that often. Also, she will love you and probably own you.

Without a doubt worth it! She's certainly not grateful now when I'm force feeding her medicine through a syringe, but soon she'll be the healthiest most loved kitten in the world.
Sometimes vets have payments plans, depending on where you go. Ours does; we take him to a Petsmart that has a vet service inside of it. We spend about $18 a month, and we rarely have to drop any money on visits that would cost us hundreds of dollars at a time. I'd recommend it for sure.
Mine has a kind of credit system, but I hate being in debt! I'll have to check out Petsmart! I know they're not actual veterinarians, but they might be able to provide cheaper service when Toulouse is in better health...
Well, the services they offer are in an animal hospital connected to our Petsmart!! It's super nice and useful, because we pick up food and stuff, then can take him to get shots at the same time. I'd look into it, especially for checks ups and vaccinations and stuff that has to be done, but not suuuper hard to do.
It's amazing how much vets can cost, but if you develop a good rapport with them it can be very worth it financially! Especially if they have your file on hand and know your situation. I was incredibly uneasy with our new vet after the first visit (300 for tests) but after we put our senior cat through treatment they could tell we really cared about our cat's quality of life, they've really been amazing (giving us some discounts here and there, letting us know when treatments aren't worth pursuing) and I'm glad we didn't bail on them after the tests :>
Hang in there! She's young so she'll bounce back and be healthy in no time! Make sure to bring her for annual check ups though, it goes a long way financially to do preventative care :>
