Cat at my rescue is sick I need donations!

I got the cat in this condition
I am a very small non profit and the vets in my community don't want to
help. All they want is they're money. 1 vet told me that I could pay half
now and half in 2 weeks so I paid upfront the first half and he isn't
getting any better... they won't do surgery to unblock the partial blockage
unless they have the full amount ($467.96) up front. If I don't have the
money unfortunatly there is no other option than to euthanise the animal as
there isn't even another shelter that will accept the cat. The reason I took
him was to try and save him in the first place. The lady I got him from was
going to throw Squirt outside. I have refrences from people that have
adopted animals from me in the past if you need them e-mailed to you. I have
no other option than to ask for help and Squirt only has a couple of weeks
before he is totally blocked. Most of my cash after paying bills goes to
food for the animals and food for myself. I don't have the extra to put out
at the momment.
Squirt is on Walthams SD diet right now and he is still urniating blood.

I post here because there are a lot of animal lovers here that probably
would like to help.

Although I am in Canada I don't understand why this is an issue....is this a
strict US newsgroup? This is not a scam... and even to suggest that of
somebody genuinely asking for help is unfair.

Thank you all for your time

It isn't a scam. It's a small legitimate cat rescue.

Call other cat rescues and have them recommend a cheaper vet. This is
an outrageous price to be charging.

Take the deposit you left with the vet. Shop around for someone who
will do it for 1/2 price. DONT talk to them on the phone, talk in
person.
Talk to people in other cat rescues. Maybe if you gave them $200 and
the cat they would perform the operation. It can't hurt to try.
Good luck, but my resources are all tied up at my own cat rescue
organization in the Fraser Valley.

I will do that...thank you
The thing is in Edmonton here the cat rescues and the SPCA even the pound is
so full they are all euthanising cats by the 100's.....it's horrible.
If I can't get the funds together before March 1'st I don't know what to
do...
Thank you for your support

~Laura

ps. do u have a website?
 >> Stay informed about: Cat at my rescue is sick I need donations! 

maybe I should also say I'm 19 work part time and go to school also... I do
what I can to help... being called a "scam" before I'm checked into isn't
fair... don't call down on people you don't know. I've done a lot within the
last 3 years and have been doing this for the last 7 years but the last 3
have almost been all of my free time. I don't drink do drugs or spend my
money on anything that isn't a necessity. I have put out so much already all
I'm asking for is help. Anything you can spare is nice and will help. I get
donations sometimes but it's very rare and mostly it comes from people who
adopt from me. I work very hard to find homes for the feral cats in my
neighborhood (and there are many) I have rescued 109 kittens and 36 feral
adults all of which had to be caught tamed down and socialised before they
could be rehomed. This was just last year (2006)
Everything extra I have goes into my rescue.

Thanks for listening to me rant and rave

If you are non-profit and unregistered then you might be breaking the law.
You can't expect people to donate without any kind of proof that you are a
legitimate rescue. Most of them are licensed and have tax ID numbers.
