Question by : Neuter clinic almost killed my cat, should legal action be taken?
Hi, I should firstly start off with i’m a 16 year old female, and I have no knowledge of legal actions, and how or what to do with my situation, and neither does my mother. So I thought somebody here might have a better opinoin. I have a cat named Sam, and I have hand raised him from the moment he was born. Him and I are SO close, He is like my child. He is about a year and a half old, and very healthy. He is a bombay, and we have an active vet, we go there monthly to have him checked up, and she says he is perfectly fit, healthy, and no health problems whatsoever. He was however, not neutered. We had not neutered him in hopes of breeding him with another bombay (he’s a full bred with papers). But, as time went on, we noticed he was getting very agressive, and our vet suggested we get him neutered because it might make him less agressive and more friendly, and in the long run he might be happier. As you can guess, my family and I were VERY nervous about him being neutered because he is our baby. I understand its an “easy” and “fast” surgery, and not very dangerous at all. But still, I was scared for him. Yesterday (March 11th) we went to TCAPS, which is a low cost spay&neuter clinic. We picked TCAPS because our friends shelter cats for them, and they have had many cats spayed and neuterd by them, and everything turned out fine. On top of them being very cost friendly. Looking back on it, we should have went to out vet and paid the extra money. I wish I could take it back, but we can’t. We dropped him off at 8:30 am, and we sat down with the vets and explained to them that we love our sammy very VERY much, and that we will be taking him to OUR vet ASAP to see if everything is okay. We asked them to take care of him, and they assured us that not only will they do him first, but they will be very careful. My mother and I went shopping and had some lunch while we waited, all the while being very nervous. We got a call at 10:00 am saying that they were done, and everything went fine. He was recovering, and we could pick him up at 12:00 pm the earliest. We got there at 12:01, and picked him up. When we arrived they explained to us the post op instructions for taking care of him after the surgery. This is where it gets sketchy as hell. They told us to NOT LET HIM OUT AT ALL, of the Kennal, until 9:00 PM at night. They said that the drugs he was on will make him quote “crazy” and groggy, and a danger to us and himself. They said after 9:00 pm we could take him out and put him in a either a bathroom or out laundry room. A small space with water, food, and a litter box so he can heal without moving around too much. They didn’t give us a collar to put around his head so he wont bite the opertated area, neither did they say anything about buying one from pets mart. We took him home, and my mother had to go to work. I took him (in his kennal) into my room, and set him on my tredmil. I offered him some food and water in his kennal, and went around doing some school things (i’m home schooled). Around an hour later, he started scratching at his kennal door. I figured he was just getting ansy, or maybe still groggy from the meds. I smelt some cat pee soon, and realized my poor baby had went to the restroom on himself. I had no idea what to do, I couldn’t let him out of his cage to go potty, but I know he has to be hurting from the surgery and I didnt want him agreviated even more. I finally called OUR vet, not TCAPS, but our ACTUAL vet, and asked her what I should do. I explained to her everything, and she immedantly sounded frantic. She said that one) she had NEVER heard anything about leaving a cat in his cage for almost 9 hours after being neutered. She said that we should take him out ASAP. So, I got off the phone and let him out. He wobbled out of the cage and attempted to jump on my bed. I picked him out and set him in his cat bed. A few minutes later he started to lick his junk, and thats when I noticed that it looked destroyed. There was tissue hanging from his actual sack, and it was very bloody and red. I freaked out and called my vet back, and she told me to take him up and she will look at him. My mom met me at the vet and she took a look at him. She said that she would need to sadate him, and stitch up the tissue that fell out. She said that they didnt put stitches in him (some vets just dont when they neuter cats) and that they used stitch glue instead. She said it looked like sam had licked it while he was in his Kennal, and thats why the tissue had fallen out.She said if we didn’t stitch it back up it could die and infect him.So she sadated him, and was going into surgery when we left.She said she will call us as soon as they get out of surgery and keep him overnight there.She called us 20 minutes later and said he had a HUGE blood clot in the upper part of his sack,she said that they obviously didnt close his vessel off all the way,and he could ha
Sorry I had to cut the ending off so short, I ran out of chatacters. Anyways, she said that he had a huge blood clot, (the size of one of his actual balls) and that it looked like TCAPS didn’t completly close the vessal off when they neutered him. In other words, he very well could have bled to death if we would have kept him in the cage for 9 hours like they said to. Looking back on it, the cage did have quite a lote of blood in it, we thought it was just normal though. We don’t really know what to do, I know accidents happen, and I don’t want to be over dramatic. But this is my baby, imagine if this happened to one of your children. We did sign a waver, BUT the waver was only for if he was allergic to any meds they put him on. NOT for if they mess up. I’m not sure where to take this, sammy is recovering. He’s taking it slow but already looks loads better than yesterday. Thank you again for reading this long question. Educated answers are welcomed, but also opinions are as well. Thank

Answer by Graybeard
I know you’re upset, but the best you could hope for in a lawsuit would be to have the spay/neuter place pay your regular vet’s bill. If that’s a lot of money, you might consider taking them to small claims court, but you’d have to prove that they did things wrong. I hope he’s OK.

Question by roxyknox88: Should we offer to rent/lease-to-own or flat out buy my brother’s house? How should I state my approach?
Long story, I ‘ll try to make it short.

My boyfriend and I are in the market for a house. We have been working with a broker for 4 months on a home that the seller has decided to back out of due to a long drawn-out approval process (recent backup of lenders caused by new tax credit). There was a little snag with my boyfriend’s credit as well – too many accounts. The broker has switched “investors” and now says we are now approved up to K. If the current seller does not agree to proceed with sale, we are interested in buying my brother’s house.

Brother’s situation:

He and his wife are looking to spend less on a monthly payment.
He refinanced for k last year; the comparable home we were buying was k (minus k tax credit we would have received).
When I told him we were buying a home he said we should just buy his. He even suggested switching living arrangements with us (he would rent out apt and we would take over his home).
He has also said they want to relocate to a nearby city in the future.

My brother says now he hasn’t “put the house on the market just yet”. He is now unsure about leaving his home. I believe he does not want to lose out on profits from a future sale, but does not think he can afford to stay without a higher paying job. He has applied and will want to wait to hear back before deciding.

Our situation:
The loan will be under my boyfriend’s name alone.
We will both be contributing to monthly payments (he more than I).
We are currently paying 600/mo rent and my brother’s total payment with tax and insurance is 800.
This is a comfortable payment for us, but I would rather buy flat out than rent to own since we are approved now with low interest rate. Never know what could happen with rates in the future.

My conclusion/argument:

If we are able to buy the house:
We cannot go much over the payoff if any. We have just enough for down payment and closing costs.
My bro would probably take a loss or break even on the home, but at least he won’t lose the home completely. (have to check details on his refi..make sure it wouldnt be a short sale)

If we rent to own:

We would have to hire real estate atty for contract.
Rates may go up, employement may change..I do not wish to pay 800/mo and end up with nothing in the end.
If we are unable to purchase the home now, we will still have option to buy when credit or earnings are better.

—————-

Either way my bro would be able to spend less on monthly payment and potentially save for another house.But if he gets a higher paying job, he can hold off and try to sell later.

Lets see…by renting he can save up to 0/mo
in 24 mo@0 he saves 00 toward his new home

I would like to present this argument to him in the near future.
I am unable to sleep so i am asking the YA community for help. lol
What is the best way to approach this situation? Please help
Thank you for your answers so far.

To clarify, we have been living together for over a year and will be getting married in a few years.

I’m not going to try to force my brother to sell, just wanted to present the case. Thanks!

Your whole argument is moot, fact is your brother doesn’t want to sell right now.. Look elsewhere.

Should you sell your house to real estate investors?

]]>

Selling your house fast is important whether you are selling it as an investment property or selling your own home.
The traditional way of selling houses does not always work or may not even be possible in the first place.    Here are some of the reasons real estate investors may be the best buyers for your house.
Traditionally when someone wanted to sell the house, they would use a real estate agent to list the house in the MLS.   With the advent of the internet, more and more people have open options to sell their houses on their own.
Real estate investors claim a good part of the house market because they buy and sell a good proportion of them.  Selling your house to a real estate investor may be different from selling to a regular home buyer.
So what scenarios could drive you to sell your house to a real estate investor?
1)     Cannot sell normally
Most people list their houses with a real estate agent.  With so many houses lying on the market with no buyers, you find your listing has expired after a few months.

Still you must sell your house.

The next choice is to sell to real estate investors who may be looking for bargain properties.    A real estate investor must have a way to make some money out of your house, so flexibility will be required.

2)    No equity
You must have around 6% equity to sell your house through a real estate agent.   But sometimes this is not possible.

A real estate investor can still buy your house even with little or no equity.   Most investors can use creative ways to buy houses like these.  Again flexibility on your part will be important to get your house sold.

3)    Speed
Sometimes you must sell your house fast.    The process of putting it in the MLS lone can take two weeks.   If the situation demands, most real estate  investors can buy houses in as little as 7 to 14 days.

4)    Repairs
You may need to fix up your house first before you can sell it.  If you do not have the money to do repairs, you cannot sell the house.

Real estate investors can still buy your house and do repairs themselves.

5)    Legal trouble
Sometimes things just happen: divorce, liens such as tax liens.   Or you have fallen behind on your mortgage payments and need to sell it fast to avoid foreclosure.   Or you  inherit a property that needs you to make mortgage payments.

You might find yourself making more than one mortgage payments if you move to a new city.

Or you have been burned by bad tenants.   The list goes on and on.

Ultimately, real estate investors may be your best option to sell your house fast.

Indeed, there are some amenities that those people who live in condos have easy access to, while their friends who live in single-family homes would have to join a gym to enjoy the same. Other amenities, including garages, laundry rooms and wood floors, for example, can be found in both condos and single-family homes.

Question by JustMe: Whch should I stop paying: the mortgage or the credit cards?
I’ve been divorced for 1 1/2 years, our house remains on the market and I’ve paid most of the mortgage since then. It was 2 months behind then went in “reduced payment” for the past 3 months. The lender now wants the regular full payment plus installments on the overdue amount. At this point I must either stop paying my personal debts, all currently in perfect standing, including credit cards w/,000+ balance and 0 in minimums, or give up on the mortgage.

This may seem like a no-brainer (“avoid foreclosure”) but then there is the matter of my ex having obligated herself in our divorce agreement to fully pay the mortgage in exchange for what she expected would be “full proceeds” on our home’s sale. Obviously that backfired, but since my name is on the mortgage, I’m still on the hook. So, which way do I benefit most or suffer least? Give up on personal debts or let the mortgage go? I’ve already had a couple lenders extend courtesies to me after documenting that agreemen
My ex has nothing to recuperate in court. She can’t even afford to pay for food and heat. My only benefit to taking her to court is an order that will effectively change nothing, and I’m out 0+ in filing fees, etc.

Since your house is already over 2 months behind, your credit rating is already affected. Therefore, I would say keep the house and pay the credit cards last. In addition, you can call the credit card companies and negotiate your payments, they may or may not knock off interest or any fees that you have incurred.
