Anybody know of a vet that will be willing to help with the costs of a stray cat that i am willing to keep.?


Answers:
go to RSPCA website, they havecentres around the country that can help with costs of bills
Contact the humane society or other animal group. They usually have vets that donate their time and the fees are relative low. Thank you for being so considerate of our furry friends.
most vets will help you in some way just be freindly
Vets will only do things for money, generally large amounts of it .
I do, but you probably dont want to go to another state to see him, so go to your nearest animal hospital and bring your stray cat there.
Hi there,
If you are recieving certain benefits, you may be able to get help from the PDSA ( http://pdsa.org.uk )
Alternatively, I would visit your locat Cats Protection League / RSPCA shelter ( http://www.catchat.org/adoption... ) who may be able to provide vouchers and discounted or free vetinary care for your new cat.
Just make sure that you can afford to keep the stray cat before you make a decision - you'll need pet insurance too :-)

I don't think vets help with the costs...
The only vets i know that do this are associated with animal hospitals such as the RSPCA, the Blue Cross and the PDSA. I don't think they will treat your pet for free but their costs are considerably lower than a private vets. When you take your cat along to one of these organisations, tell them that you have given this stray a home and they might waive the initial treatment fee, which at the RSPCA is about 拢10.00. Well done for giving the cat a good home, thats very decent of you. I'm sure it will bring you lots of love and affection.
Most vets will help just ask.
If you're going to keep it, are you going to expect the vet to pay for the food and litter that cat is going to use?
You don't mention your location, but if you are in the UK, the following organisations can help out with vet bills;
RSPCA
Blue Cross
Cat Protection League
If you are in the London area, the Celia Hammond Trust has vet clinics in Lewisham and Canning Town.
The link below, has a map that you can click to find welfare centres in your area.

Thanks for offering a stray cat the chance to know what it is to have a loving home - he will be eternally grateful to you.
you may need low cost animal services but no vet is going to just do a free handout. Anyone thinking that is being delusional. There are low cost spay and neutering programs as well as low cost vaccinations at various animal clinics including major retailers such as Pet Supplies Plus and Petco but no one is just going to do things for free. Animal rescue organizations are overburdened themselves because of the volume of animals in their care due to us humans failing to spay and neuter and continuing to breed animals senselessly to line our own wallets.
I also found a stray kitten who was in very bad condition and had many problems and we rang the RSPCA to see if they could take her but we decied we wanted to keep her and then the RSPCA payed for the vets fees scince we'd kept her! Now she has no problems at all, and she is a very healthy cat! Good luck.
Try the blue cross,they should be able to help,and they only ask for a donation as apposed to a set vets price.
The RSPCA or the Blue Cross should be able to help you with this, local animal shelters or Humane Societies may also be willing, but the Blue Cross are a sure thing, and I guess the RSPCA are too.
All depends on where in the world you are. Here in UK its not so bad finding help, If you are on a low wage in our area Cats Protection League are a great help, not saying they will buy all pcats food but when you need em for other stuff they will help out. Then there is the RSPCA, PDSA and local vets.
But if you are not in the UK, this answer is useless.
Good on you,
Try the Cats Protection League or Caring for Cats, both excellent Cat Charities.
If you are on a means tested benefit you can call the P.D.S A. ( Peoples Dispensary for Sick Animals) They just ask for a donation about 拢10.00 I believe.
if you get in touch with your local cat protection league they will either try and help you or put you in contact with someone who will.
You can ask your vets about a payment plan or you can contact one of the many cat charities that will help you if you're on a low income, such as the Blue Cross, the PDSA, the Cats Protection League and ask your vet about other locak charities as every area has some.
Hope this helps.
