Hello all,

My cat that lives with my mom and sister has something wrong with her leg; they took her to the vet but I could only afford to have her looked at and some pain medicine. The xray would supposedly cost over $200 and that is not including treatment of any kind. I'm kind of in a fix here because I'm an unemployed student and my mom can't help because she is in debt herself. Her injury doesn't appear to be life-threatening at the moment, but she seems to be in a lot of pain whenever she tries to use the leg.

Update: Got her x-rayed and unfortunately she has a cancerous growth on her knee, and the vet said this type of tumor is usually aggressively malignant. So even if I could afford the amputation surgery (which would be very stressful and painful for my cat) it would not be a guaranteed solution. Pain meds would be over $100 a month which is also just too much. I feel awful, but she seems content to stay in my mom's room, has a good appetite and seeks out attention/petting (only seems to be in pain when her leg is touched) so I don't want to put her to sleep until her quality of life is clearly deteriorating.
My thanks to those of you who donated or bought something to help with the cost of the x-ray. If you would like to see proof of the vet service, send me a note and I will give you a picture of the bill.

I am leaving what I have for sale up in case anyone is still interested in any of the items because I could still use the money when the time comes for euthanasia.

- All plushies have tags and all games/dvds have cases
- everything bought new, ie I was only owner

If nothing interests you, please consider reblogging in case someone else is x_x

Thank you everyone who has donated or bought something so far, I am up to $105;
I don't know how much the final vet bill will be so I am not setting a "goal," just hoping to raise as much as possible, preferably by selling the stuff because I really don't like to just accept money x_x The xray+sedation cost $189. But my sincerest thanks to anyone that can afford to donate or buy something. If I do have any money leftover it will go to the PVDR charity. Thank you for reading.

Update: Someone asked why I don't check other vets/go on a payment plan, just wanted to post the answer here:
The reason I haven't been able to do that is because I am not actually there myself. My sister works and goes to school and has been taking care of my mom, who just had surgery (so obviously my mom can't do it either), so unfortunately they have not had time or ability to go vet shopping/take her back. I'm going home on my break in mid-December so I can take her then.
I called some dozen vets in the area before settling on one that had both what seemed to be more reasonably costs and mostly good reviews.
