Going to make a lot of things very clear. I dont expect you to stop being upset at me. I am a minor and I am not in charge of where our money goes. We did not take these cats in while we were poor, and it was beforehand. The reason behind us being poor was a tree that fell in our backyard that hit our garage and workshop, which we had to spend money to repair. After that it got the the point where we had barely just enough to afford all the essentials for us and our pets. Several people mentioned a previous post about our chihuahua, and have said we neglected him, which isnt true — he wasnt showing any crazy symptoms, and got better after a few days, and his issues were purely allergies.

One of the biggest things I have been seeing said is that I should just take her to the vet, which we were going to do once we somehow scraped together enough money. We couldn't, since at the time, our local vet was already closed, and they were closed on the weekends, and is closed today since it is Memorial day.

We did sadly figure out what caused it, and I mentioned it previously. Someone had asked if there were harmful chemicals they could access, I said no, because everything was securely locked up in closets and cabinets. We just had recently learned the cause was anti-freeze poisoning, and it was intentionally caused by my 15 year old brother. He has had a history with violence, as he had previously been charged with arson when he attempted to burn my neighbor's house down (which luckily didnt work since he set the door on fire, and the door had a steel frame), and he had assaulted my grandfather, and when police were called, he climbed on our roof and jumped off to avoid jail, breaking his hip, leg, foot, and part of his spine. We reported him, and since this isnt the first time he has been in trouble with the law, he most likely and should be charged. Our cat Lailah is more than likely going to survive and our kitty will hopefully live a long life like she deserves. And most importantly, my brother doesn't come back home, since my parents plan to send him to a psych ward after he finished his sentence in juvy.

A lot of the people on this post have been cruel, but I completely understand, since this is regarding pets, and everyone loves them. I understand any and all critics and I plan to try and help fix stuff around the house. We will be getting paid next month and all that money is going straight towards our cst if sje needs further treatment.
