Took the boys in to get fixed today.

Boy, is this ever a production! First I had to get the carriers (and a ride) from Michele. Luckily she was willing to do so, her youngest was sick this weekend. Then I had to borrow a second friend because she's on food stamps, saving me $115 per kitten. (They're "her" kittens today, though sadly she's not interested in them in real life.) Given that she's excessively pregnant, this was a huge favor of hers.
Then I get there and the van's not there. It showed up right as we were about to give up and leave. And we stand out in the cold and the woman goes "Oh, if it's three cats the third one has to be full price." But, happily, another person there only had ONE cat, so she signed the form for him.
So, in total, it took four people to manage getting these three cats fixed, and I still have the girls to do. They're going Friday, I can *walk* down. *thinks* Well, picking them up isn't so bad, but dropping them off might be a problem. I should ask Jenn or my mom to do that, otherwise I'll have to go some other day.
Oh, and their mom. She's last because she's still nursing. Logically, you'd think she's most urgent, but it's not the right time of year for kittens, so I'm not overly worried.
