I really needed help with my cat as to try and save him, but because I couldn't get the answer I needed to hear he is now dead. I needed advice either for me to physically do something to help him or a way I could save him with a vet. I know you gave the best advice you could give for a quick $10 but you just din't get what I was asking. I needed help, financial help. I couldn't even afford to give up the $10 I offered. I specifically mentioned the area I live in for advice on where to find assistance to help my cat. I know there are private agancies out there that will help out. The only person I knew that knew of such places is not around anymore to tell me, so I searched on the internet only to find this sight. I followed your advise and brought him to a vet that didn't ask about my credit until they told me how much it was and that they needed half up front. I flipped out when they showed me a bill for $1800, not even....it was an estimated bill. To top it all off they tell me that they have to transfer him to our regular vet for further treatment. I was sick to my stomach. 4 years ago my cat had the same procedure done and it cost me $175. The same exact procedure would have costed me $1800 + + because I took your advice. Now , just for walking into the hospital it was $130 and because I couldnt afford the bill they told me he probably wouldnt last till the morning because his urinary tract was completely blocked and his bladder was completely full, that it would back up into his liver and he would die an excrutiating death. They gave me another option, EUTHANASIA, for $225. I wound up borrowing money from my sister to pay the bill and he was put to sleep., Now I have to face my 2 daughters in the morning and explain why their cat isn't home
