Best advice: If
you can't afford shots/license/fencing, or to take them to a vet if
something serious happens to them, then don't get a pet. It'll make them
suffer and die, and break your heart. It's just not worth it. But here are
web sites to get help if you DO have a pet that's sick/hurt and you are
financially challenged:
