Sick puppies / Fursuit? Yes, they're related. Kinda

Soooooo...
spera went out and got another puppy. Her name is Kamata and she's a Timberwolf/GSD mix. She's adorable and kinda low key (which is a welcome change of pace from Kaza's crazy ass). However, despite her cuteness and her temperament she did have her downsides. Mostly the fact that she had Parvo, of which we were unaware. She stopped eating for a day or so, then started vomiting blood. Needless to say we had to rush her to the vet, and she was there for a few days. While she was gone Kaza started to act sick too, as despite his vaccinations he tested positive for Parvo as well. :(
Good news is that they're both home now, although Kaza has to go to the vet once a day for his IV. Bad news is this is going to run up some serious debt. Maybe about 2-3k in vet bills. Needless to say we don't have that kind of cash so it's all on a card.
-Now for something slightly less depressing but still somewhat related-
I'd been spending the last week or so before all this happened looking at fursuits. This is the sort of thing I never thought I'd seriously consider, and honestly there's a few of my old friends who agreed to punch me in the face if I ever did. That said, however, starting to go to cons has seriously made me change my tune. I need a damn fursuit, if for nothing else than to hide this disgusting husk from the community.
Can anyone do me a favor and refer me to artists/sites that good a good mix of cartoony and realistic? I don't want anything too far on either end of the spectrum. If they've done good work with cheetahs or any other spottycat that would be a plus.
Not looking to spend more than 3000 here, but this whole vet situation has seriously eaten into the amount of 'acceptable debt' I'm going to let us take on. Either way, maybe I can work some of my magic and 'hustle' some cash up like I used to.
This kitty might have to start sellin' that rock. ;p

FA+

I'll take all your suggestions into serious consideration though, so please don't hold back!
Kamata is doing great, but she's on a strict diet of this canned food that's almost entirely eggs.
Kaza has to go to the vet once a day for an IV and he isn't allowed to eat or drink anything, so that's a pain in the ass. It's really creepy looking when we take him for the IV because all the fluids gather up in his backfat and make a hump.
