Vets. Bills. Broke. How to make money in Qatar?

Whyyyyy are vet bills soo expensive? Last month I rescued - from industrial area - a litter of puppies (some only weeks old) - abandoned, no mother around. Cars passing by!

Luckily all of them, except one - are healthy now and have so much energy. My original plan was to wean them and give them away to a shelter because I'm broke. But now I'm attached to them - can't let them go. So I'm getting them shots and in a few months spayed and nurtured.

I earn money by freelancing (and this works great for the puppies) - but vets bills are soooo expensive. One of them got sick today and is getting hospitalized. Paid QAR 1500 today for this puppy that fits the palm of my hands.

My question actually is - what are some ways to make money in Qatar? I just need to start earning more for the 7 of us. Also, is there any pet insurance place in Qatar?

Try the vet Hospital (Public Vets Health center) In airport road, they can do emergency check-ups free.

What's a girl like you doing in the Industrial Area anyway? If you want to make money, write a well-researched report about the plight of the laborers (not the cats). Sell it to an international newspaper. You might well make some money, and you might also get deported from Qatar. Life is so exciting.

May not help at all, but try to sell of the other puppies here. It will help you save at least one.

Dohanews is also looking for a summer editor, maybe you can apply for a part time? Good luck!
