Description

Said they were from a humane society/vet office/shelter that my missing cat was brought into by a good Samaritan. That they used AI to identify her and needed my consent to give her surgery on her dislocated shoulder, and if they waited for me to get there she may be permanently paralyzed. They refused to give any proof such as pictures that it was her, and said it was against policy to send pictures of hurt animals. He said the procedure without insurance would cost 3600, and i would have to pay a little over 1k before they would start surgery, with the rest able to be done by payment plan over 12 months. The number had come up as private, and the address he gave wasnt even an animal clinic. Even then it would have been over an hour away and included a good ferry trip.
