Loss of Fur during my cat's heat cycle? ?

Question

My cat is a year and a half old....we haven't any money to get her fixed or anything, but she's inside all of the time. (and she's scared to go out, even when she's in heat) Anyhow, we're saving up some money, to get her fixed, and to get her her shots and everything, but she is losing her fur. :( She's really pretty. Black and white.......the Fur underneath her tail, is gone, and on her lower belly, and on the back insides of her back legs....:( Any help is greatly appreciated....with OUT any rude comments. Thanks...

Answer 1

Contact your local animal humane society or animal shelter to see if they have low cost spaying available...try to see if you can find a vet who will spay the cat and take payments for doing so...she is twice too old to be without spaying...they usually go into heat 6-7 months....the fur coming out could be from being in heat, but it sounds as if she needs a vet check asap. Please put off buying something that you don't need so you can actually take care of this animal.....
