My Story: Pamela Discusses Her Cat’s Health Emergency

As a writer of cozy mysteries, Pamela depends on her best friend, Franklin Von Pumpernickel, to supervise her work. She couldn't be luckier or happier to have him in her life.

One night, Pamela came out of her room and found Franklin collapsed on the floor. He was young and seemed healthy before he collapsed, so she rushed him to the vet. But unfortunately, because it was almost Thanksgiving, her usual vet wasn't open. She knew the emergency vet would be more expensive, but she didn't know what else to do, and she was worried.

The vets at the emergency clinic treated Franklin immediately. They discovered that he had crystals growing in his urinary tract, creating a blockage. Without emergency intervention, Franklin would have been dead in hours.

Franklin required several procedures and an overnight stay. Pamela was relieved he was getting the care he needed, but then came the daunting cost of emergency vet care she was now facing.

That's when the clinic told her about the CareCredit credit card. She applied for the card and was approved immediately, even qualifying for a promotional financing offer. For Pamela, it was a "no-brainer." CareCredit helped her pay for Franklin's care and remains her go-to card for her pet care emergencies.
