MaryleeJane, you say here that you are looking for "affordable" pet products for Coco. It indicates that you have a limited budget to spend on Coco, as opposed to someone who would simply ask, "What is a good product?".
Most of us in the forum are also aware that you are looking for a male cat as the solution for Coco's in-heat experience and many have suggested to you that you spay Coco instead. You can also send Coco for spaying while she is in heat at Klinik Kembiri. All you have to do is to inform them in the form and the charge is just RM10 extra, and a senior vet surgeon will most likely take over the job instead since it requires more effort and care.
Spaying is the real solution for Coco right now because even with 1 cat, you really need to spend a considerable amount to give her some quality care so that you will reap maximum benefit and joy out of your pet. You will need to spend some money to get her some premium food which will give her better health and with that give you lower vet bills later on.
If you do not spay Coco and she manages to escape by accident and then returns home preggie, presenting you with 5 little kittens, are you able to afford looking after all of them? Adoptions, especially for the not so good looking ones are very hard to come by. Real good and committed adoptions are even rarer to come by, without any of the kittens ending up being thrown into the streets when they are no longer cute and their owners are tired of their "teddy bears" and out of love with them.
You will also need money for vaccination, deworming, etc. I never shampoo my healthy, clean cats so I spend zero on bath products. I wipe them clean with a damp towel if they are soiled occasionally.
I spend zero ringgit on litter sand as I use shredded newspaper. My only investment is in the good durable adult sized Marchioro litter box. I plow all my savings into expensive good cat food to give them better health.
If I were you, I would pick up the phone right now, make an appointment with Klinik Kembiri for this Saturday or Sunday (yes, they open on weekends), fast Coco by 10pm the day before surgery, bring her to the clinic by 8:30am to avoid the long queue, take a slow breakfast while waiting, and then take her home at 11-12pm.
... and enjoy your beloved Coco, taking care of her tenderly till she has fully recovered, and continue to find joy in her for the rest of her life, even with only 1 cat in the household.
Poor families have tons of kids and the kids don't get much ... but rich families normally have only 1-2 kids because they want to give their kids the best so they go for quality, not quantity ...
... and that is unless you are a genuine pet rescuer ...
