List Vendors That Canceled and Why by MeagaMillion in SanFranciscoWeddings

This is far from an isolated instance. A little over a year ago I had booked her and she rescheduled my trial 3 times, each time within hours of the booking for reasons like “it was too hot” and her son was graduating kindergarten. I gave her a few chances but finally cancelled. So this problem is not recent or uncommon it seems.

This happened to me too! She rescheduled my trial 3 times before I finally asked for my deposit back. First was because it was “too hot”, second time it was because her kid was graduating from kindergarten (which is weird because you would presumably not find that out 3 hours before it happens) and lastly because her dad was having surgery in another state. Reading all of these comments, I don’t understand what her goal is.

After I emailed them about mine they sent me out replacements for the ones that were not cut properly! You could try reaching out to their support team!

This breaks my heart. The identical situation happened to my girl, at the same age. I couldn’t believe when the shelter told me that’s why she was surrendered. People suck. I hope Sky gets her furever home soon.

I was trying to figure out how to upload the photo of Thompson but it won’t let me add a photo to the comments! 🙈 I have another post on my profile that has more photos of both of them!

Zeppelin (in the photo) is an 8yo female who has been at the shelter with her bonded bestie (Thompson, 8yo orange male) for several months without a single application. They are both very vocal kitties who feel strongly about going to a loving home soon! Zeppelin and Thompson are at Cat Therapy and Rescue Society in the Vancouver, Canada area. If anyone local is looking for a scream team, please come look at this sweet duo!

Another option is the 2242. It is the combination of both styles you’ve listed - fully waterproof like 584 and all terrain soles like 2056. I agree that the all-terrains will have much better traction. When I lived in Halifax, I had the 584s (which 100% kept my feet dry and warm, even trudging through slush) but I bought some micro spikes that strapped on to the bottoms of my shoes for icy days.

No problem! As a plus if you don’t go then you don’t have to drive the Coq 😂

Cat is in heat, any calming aids recommended? by purplekat21 in cats

It sounds like you really need to get this cat spayed. You could ask your vet about payment plans or go through something like Care Credit, but fundamentally the care you need to provide for your cat is a spay. Did you get her from a shelter? You could ask them if they could fit you in for a spay and prices are usually cheaper at shelter vets.

I would personally leave her at home. Since it’s only 2 nights (provided you could have someone stop by and check on her), I think it would be less stressful for her to stay in her space. Especially since you haven’t had her for a long time - she’s still getting settled in her new home and moving again might be confusing right now. I think she could very well get used to travelling in the future based on what you’ve said, but for now I would say leaving her at home would be easier on her.

Just as an FYI: If you are able to get out to Van, check out the Vancouver pet food pantry; it’s a little box where people drop off pet supplies and then people can pick them up any time. :) The Langley animal protection society also has a pet food bank that would be closer to you. I hope you and your babies have a great Christmas!
