You've got a big heart. I don't think you're crazy, either, since I've done something similar. I have also shelled out for a stray cat--a friend found a stray wandering outside during a snowstorm with a wound that he thought looked infected. Since all the pet stores were closed for the night, we wanted to get some cat food and litter from me so he could get her out of the storm. I completely fell for her. I think I paid about $350 for vaccs and wound treatment and spay. If Applejack (the found kitty) had been able to get along with my cats we would have kept all three. As it was, it about broke my heart to take her to the shelter a few months later. But I know I did right by her. <em>feministfinance's last blog post..<a href='http://www.feministfinance.com/2008/05/marrying-debt.html'>Marrying Debt</a></em> Good for you! You’ve got a big heart.
