Hey Ladies and Gents,
I need some serious advice. Ima mobile groomer and a lady called me last week to do her boxer. We made the appointment and she called back a few days later. She wanted to know If i could do her cat. She went on to tell me the cat had a few mats because she was very elderly and didnt clean herself anymore. I am a cat lover and breed Siamese, so when I hear of a cat that needs to feel better I jump on it. As this lady was a new client I went on to ask her about vaccines and etc to make sur eb oth were up to date She said everyone was. I arrived at her house this past saturday and when she showed me poor little kitty, I thought she was dead. She was sooo skinny. She was one complete mat.I told her i could doit but it would by no means look pretty. I asked for proof of rabies and all other vaccines and she said " Oh i thought you meant the dog Cats arent considered pets to me she doesnt have rabies or any vaccines." I asked when the last time her NINETEEN year old cat had been to the vet and she said "NEVER" Now without proof ofvaccines I would normally NEVER groom an animal. But I felt for this poor little thing. I told the owner that I would do her but she would have to sign a statement paying for any treatment if i were to be bitten or etc. She agreed and I took lil one outside.I spent 3 hours pulling the sheet of hair off her gave her a minute long bath and noticed that she had sores ALL over her from the mats. She was the sweetest little girl ever, she would lick my handevery few seconds and howl at me to pet her. She seemed so deprived. I did NOT blow dry her but toweldried the best I could, so i wouldnt stress out this 19 year old obviously sick andverywounded cat. When I brought her inside The ladytoldme she would pay me and never use me again because of how I made her cat develop Infected sores (my consent for explains if they are severley matted they will probably have bad sores) and then she told me if ididnt blowdry the cat i "wouldnt work in this town again" I guess I wont be working in that town haha because Imnot going to give a cat a heart attack. When I told her she needed to go to the vet and treat these horrible sores she simply said that she DOESNT TAKE CATS TO THE VET and if she died she died and she would bury her out back. Now this isnt aboutrevenge for her treating me horribly( Icould care less I knew i didnt do anything wrong), but would you call animal control? I am so worried about that little baby. I need advice please!!!
