The economy is also affecting pet owners

We’re in a pretty tough spot, and considering there are three of us plus a cat, we sometimes feel like we’re being strangled by Venezuela’s terrible economy. Over the past few months, the prices of food and cat litter have skyrocketed—it’s even become impossible to buy both at the same time. I’ve had to plan our days so that the food runs out on a different day than the litter, haha—it’s crazy.

As of today, buying both items comes to about 8,700 bolivars, which is more than $17 just for food and litter—and that’s not even counting the meat I buy especially for him, which, by the way, I haven’t been able to buy yet due to a lack of funds. I remember that I used to buy up to two 5-kg bags of litter, but now I can only buy one, so the sandbox doesn’t fill up completely, but that amount still works.

I bought his food today, but as I mentioned, I can’t afford the meat. In a couple of days we’ll have to change the litter, and that’s really the worst part since the litter is a bit more expensive than the food. I’ve tried other options like wood shavings, which are cheaper and, according to what I read online, are pretty good at absorbing pee and poop, but honestly, the one time I bought it, my cat and I suffered. Maybe I don’t know how to use it, but every time my cat went to use the litter box, everything would spill out because the wood shavings don’t hold their shape… Anyway, every day everything gets harder.

There are people who abandon their pets when situations like this come up, but I would never do that; on the contrary, I’ll do my best to always be able to buy things for my Kitty…

It’s truly heartbreaking to read about the tough situation in Venezuela and how it's affecting pet owners. Your dedication to your cat is so inspiring—many would have given up, but you're doing your best for your furry friend. Honestly, I’m a huge cat lover too, and I believe they are more than just pets; they are family. Your kitty is lucky to have you. I hope things get better for you and your family soon. Sending love
Oh it's sad! Here also not about the cat's food but the gasoline and diesel price has become higher.
