Flight from England to Canada for a girl I care for.

Flight from England to Canada for a girl I care for.

I'm in love with a girl in England. She's 20, renting a room in her grandmothers house and being treated like a slave. She has not had a good life there between her friend getting murdered, having been raped, friend dying of leukemia, abusive father, and more she wants to leave there and come to Canada.

She has been doing her damnedest to save up to come but things keep happening like an error made by a flight booking company caused her to loose around 200 GBPs. She has been helping me for a while now in so many ways that I would like to help her get over here.

Mind you, her coming here also has its bonuses for me as well. Let me explain...

I live in Quebec, Canada in an apartment alone with my cat. My parents and I don't get along and they are not giving me any moral support. I don't have any friends, or better worded I don't have any friends that I have seen much if at all in the past 6 months or longer. I suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder and major depression. I'm on medical leave from work because said problems are affecting my memory, and other things. I initially had Sick Leave benefits sending money but now I don't. I have gone without any income for a couple months now which means things are really difficult. I'm running low on food, and hydro has gone unpaid and will cut me off March 31st if nothing is done. I'm not able to leave the house now because I am so scared of everything. I am trying to get help with local services but it's proving very difficult. Her presence here would provide much needed moral support and companionship. It would help me have a reason to get up and do things, a reason to push myself extra hard to make that phone call to services like the food bank, or other things. It would bring me comfort to be with someone during this rough period rather than alone.

My cat Wire and I have been feeling a little lonely. I have been pining to adopt another cat but due to financial reasons I haven't. I already share a loving home with my 6 year old bengal cat Wire.

I have been following up on local rescues, and even particular breed rescues that I have been interested in. In general acquiring a cat ranges about 50$ and then you add shots, neutering/spaying, microchip-ing, buying additional food dishes, and litter trays, and more you are looking at approximately 500$.

So I'd like to take in another fuzz-ball be they a homeless cat from an SPCA, a "free kitten" from an unwanted litter, a pedigree cat up being retired.

By the way, the image is of my cat Wire lounging on what he has decided is his chair.

As I have had a lot of mention of 500$ being too much for a cat I am posting the price estimates I got from local shelters, breeders and vets.

Breeders are charging around 600-800$ for various breeds of kittens in the area and I've checked those not in the area and prices are generally the same. Retired breeding cats run for about 200$.

Here's the prices from my local SPCA:
Kittens: $195.00 (under 6 months)
Cats: $135.00

Health Checking: $50.00 - $100.00
De-worming: $35.00 - $50.00
Ear mites testing & treatment: $45.00 - $90.00
Flea treatment: $9.00 - $15.00
Vaccinations: $27.50 - $50.00
Spay/Neuter: $145.00 - $200.00
Microchip: $60.00 - $90.00
Total: 545$ (without the animal)

Of course $545 is the upper range estimate without the animal.
If any money is left over after putting the critter through vet checking and more then I can get food, litter, other equipment and toys for both so they can be happy.
