I’ve taken in a little female cat. She was living rough, skinny and in a right state, so I brought her home. I’ve never had a cat before (due to my allergies) but I can’t stand seeing abandoned animals left to fend for themselves... So we took her to the vet anyway for a check-up and some advice, but no one mentioned her going into heat or 'calling'...
She’s lovely, but the trouble is she’s in heat every other week and it’s really draining, I don’t know what to do anymore. We want to get her spayed but we haven't got the funds for it just yet, even though we're planning to get it done. I wanted to know if there was any way to calm her down because it’s becoming almost unbearable. We’ve had her for 3 months, and it’s all day long; she yowls, rubs against everything (even the dog, even though she normally avoids him or has a go at him) and it’s non-stop, I’m at my wits' end! Please tell me you can help! =) Thanks

I’m not sure if there are any charity clinics in your area – there are also low-cost vet schemes but they aren't available in every town – the RSPCA ran a neutering campaign – it might be worth checking the PDSA or Blue Cross websites –
Oh, the poor thing! She really was in a right state, wasn't she? Thank goodness you took her in. She’s absolutely gorgeous now – what a massive difference! ^^
Definitely try and work something out with your vet; I’m sure they’ll let you pay in instalments. Once that’s sorted, you’ll have peace of mind and your little kitty will be much happier too. ;)
My cat is white, my dog is black... the floors are white and my furniture is black... my dog leaves his black fur all over my white floors and the cat leaves his white fur all over my black furniture!!!! Argh, I’m going to have to redecorate! lol =)
Well Nini, when you’ve got cats and dogs, even if you love those colours for your clothes, you end up avoiding them because of the state the fur leaves them in.
Well, you know, I reckon most people on this forum have basically banned black, navy and brown from their wardrobes!
I didn’t quite get that ^^ I think it’s just tiredness. Anyway, lots of love to you and your furry friends! See you tomorrow ;)
Right then, I’m off to bed now, and I’ve still got to take the dog out. Hopefully my kitty lets us get some sleep! lol. Anyway, thanks to all of you for the great advice, it’s really kind of you. Goodnight and see you soon!
