JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Catty Shack Ranch’s only female lion passed away peacefully at the sanctuary Thursday night. The 21-year-old big cat was three when she and about a half a dozen other exotic animals were confiscated by the USDA from a private zoo in 2002. “All of our rescued animals receive the finest medical treatment, but one thing we can’t cure is old age,” Catty Shack’s Executive Director Curt LoGiudice said. This weekend, Catty Shack is honoring her by dedicating all visits to Nyra’s memory. The sanctuary relies on ticket sales to provide food and medical care for all of the animals.

Are you financially healthy enough to have a child?

Read full article: Are you financially healthy enough to have a child?

You think about making a baby, having a baby, raising that baby -- but have you thought about the cost of that baby? According to the USDA, it costs over $230,000 to raise a child until they are 17. You start with the crib, the high chair, the diapers -- more diapers and even more diapers -- but that is just the beginning. Also, take into account the mom's needs -- such as check-ups, renatal vitamins and the delivery itself, which costs on average over $6,000. It costs nearly an extra $200 to $450 a month for the insurance coverage of your newborn.
