When you find a stray animal, there is no way of knowing its previous history or if it has an illness or disease, like rabies. It is therefore vitally important to separate the animal from your children and other pets for at least ten days until it has been examined, and if necessary receives any vaccinations that your veterinarian recommends.

It becomes a problem when pet owners do not see a veterinarian for routine pet health care, but expect to receive emergency services without the promise of payment. If you do not have a relationship with a veterinary hospital for your pet's preventive medical care, you should plan how you will take care of it in the event of an emergency.
Most veterinary hospitals accept credit cards.
If you do not have a credit card, perhaps you can borrow the money from a friend or relative. Puppies and kittens need basic health examinations, preventive vaccinations and tested for parasites. A veterinary hospital may provide a rough estimate over the telephone. When you call for estimates, find out what is included for the fees charged as well as additional fees you may expect to pay.
