Layla survived 22 story fall

For those who don't believe that cats have nine lives may think again after this story. Layla, a cat who survived a 22 storey fall, according to an article written by Jim Wilkes from The Star dot com, the Etobicoke Human Society had to seize the cat after the owner refused to fix the cat's broken legs.

The call was anonymously placed to the Human Society which caused the cat to be seized in the first place.

The owner did not take the cat earlier 'cause she could not afford the surgery and although I can sympathize, however, the responsibility of an animal comes with an annual cost that owners do not realize or fail to accept. The average cost including medical emergencies, annually min can run anywhere between $3 - $5/year.

Pets are cute when they're sitting at the pet store, however, financial responsibility is a must. If you cannot afford to take care of a pet, it's best to allow someone who can. All animals need love but we also need to take care of ourselves financially first before giving what we can to an animal.

Layla received $3,500 worth of surgery after she had been suffering with months in pain due to the broken legs.

Allowing the bones to heal without proper treatment causes the bones to heal improperly causing further complications down the road, costing even more in the future to rectify.

Money, these days are tight and there are a few options for current pet owners. Shop around for alternatives. Some vets may even have a payment plan. Pet insurance is worth looking into or a savings plan specifically for your pet(s) care may be the plan of action.
