00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.400
Person that adopted the animal wants to rush the animal

2
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.919
directly to the emergency room. And remember when I said,

3
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:12.599
it's not an emergency, but they want her to pay

4
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.000
for it. And an emergency service like that today, even

5
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.800
on a kitten, is like four or five thousand dollars.

6
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.600
You know, it's like, no, you wait it out, you

7
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.600
know it's it's I had I had to do exactly

8
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.839
what we're talking about here. I had to put her

9
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.559
into a state where you have to say, no, bring

10
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.679
it back to me. I'll take care of it, you know.

11
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:37.039
I you know, if you want to keep it, I'll

12
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.359
work with you. But I'm not paying that bill. And

13
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:42.920
you know, unfortunately, in the way the laws are written

14
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.560
to on some of this stuff, she could still be

15
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.479
held liable for that. And it's like, no, cancel the adoption.

16
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:50.759
And you know, if you want to adopt another one

17
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.119
at a later date, you know, we'll give you some

18
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.679
more information, some more guidance, and more teaching and then

19
00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:58.200
we'll go from that.
