    I'm not trying to be rude, but how long will these financial problems occur? Did you think about this when you got a kitten?

    You know what OK, you don't have a lot of money... me either! But that doesn't mean you can't provide a loving home for a pet! It makes me so mad when people say if you can't afford the vet bills you shouldn't have a pet. Do you know how many pets there are in shelters? Thousands, would these people like even more to be there? Lets face it maybe its not ideal for a pet have an owner who isn't financially well off but you know what its far better than having no home at all! Good luck with your kitten and I hope it turns out well, I would personally give the kitty some polysporin eye drops for a few days and if it doesn't improve speak to a vet about payments or what my vet offers is basically a temporary credit card to help you cover the cost. P.S. I bet you are a great pet parent!

    To be fair, in a shelter, the kitten would at least get vet care. I worked in a shelter for 2 years, and that was part of my job.
