Besides online that is. I know online would be the best source but I do not want to risk having my mail seen by the people who live in my house. I used to get them at Rite-Aid when I lived farther north (same state) but for some reason they told me I needed a prescription for 3cc fits at the rite-aid near where I live now? I know this is totally wrong [in the state of Oregon] This is the same rite-aid that has sold me 1cc works a bazillion times too. I usually get boxes of 200 1cc works from the harm reduction program, so to my question, what is the best place to pickup 3cc fits and 27g tips for cheap?

Also you think my harm reduction guy/county health clinic worker order wheel filters for me? He's ordered other stuff like tourniquets for me before.

You could tell them it's for you cat, seriously. My cat has diabetes and I regularly get insulin syringes by the box no questions asked since it's pretty common. Mine are only 1cc though but you could try for a larger. If they ask how much he needs say you give him 2 units twice a day as thats pretty standard.

Have you asked your needle exchange if they have 3cc syringes and 27 gauge needles? There are exchanges that carry these items for those who use steroids. They also carry different gauge needles in different lengths as well for IM injections. They may order you filters as well.

I am surprised your NE does not have tourniquets to just give out. Most have them on hand and give them out with the needles. I guess it depends on the NE.

If they do order supplies and don't have what you need, ask them about ordering you the 3cc rigs and needles you want.

Depending on the state you live in and whether or not needle sales without a script is legal, it may be up to the discretion of the pharmacist to sell them. I know in Calif. it is legal to sell syringes, but you only find that up north near S.F. but not in L.A. where it would be useful or in Orange County where there is no NE programs.

You could try the "my cat needs meds" route, but they may just send you to the vets office.

Anyway, give it a go at your NE.
