Nowadays, vets usually have brochures on financing. When my dog was very ill, I ended up getting financing through a company that specializes in financing vet care for pets. If you just walk in to a good sized vet clinic, they may have these brochures right where you check in. Explain that's what you need to find out.

I hope you can get the help your cat may need. Visit a few different clinics. I found out there can be very big differences from one clinic to the next in what they recommend and in what they charge.

I know pet healthcare has gotten expensive, but shop around a bit.

I hope your cat feels better. Pets can't tell us what's wrong. We have to guess. That's a lot of anxiety. Let a professional help you. Stop in at a few clinics, if your community has options. Some vets are all about the money and going to extremes in treatment. Some are reasonable and sympathetic. If you offer to pay over time, or get financing, some vets will work with you. With my dog, I went to 5 different Vets. I found enormous differences in how they were to work with. So don't go by just one.
