Report
I called yesterday to get info and they told me it was $100 per cat per appointment. I needed the person I am sponsoring to tell me when they were going to bring the strays in. When I called back today they had no idea, there were no openings even for emergencies, and the doctor is leaving for vacation I guess? Why didnt they tell me that when I called before I stead of going through the entire thing about who I was, who the cats are, the cost of visits, getting an estimate for the entire thing, and tell me I can call the next day to schedule and then have this happen when I do that?
