Please don't forget you are talking to experienced cat owners and people who work at vets and shelters who are trying to help you.

We know what can go wrong and even if you keep your cat indoors, there will be a day when someone leaves a door or window open and she might escape. You might be lucky and she just sits in the garden, or she might wander off. You should have a collar and ID tag on her ALL the time just in case she does get out. Unfortunately cats that are kept inside all the time are more likely to get hit by a car if they get out because they have never seen them before.

No-one is saying you don't have money - but you yourself said that you can't take her to the vet until next month because you spent all your money this month. Personally I would have bought only ONE bed instead of three and I would have taken her for a check up and vaccinations.
