if the Veterinarian will accept post dated checks; Find
out what the minimum is that can be done that will solve the problem; Get a
second opinion re: costs; Borrow
from family, friends, bank, etc.; Use
equity in your car, home to obtain funds; Cash
in or borrow against life insurance policy or stocks; Ask
for a salary advance from your employer; Get a
second job or work overtime if available; Have
a garage sale; sell on eBay, pawn items of value; Ask
your church for help; Consolidate
high interest credit debt to get cash; Ask
local Humane Society or shelter for assistance; Trade
services or goods with your Veterinarian; Contact
Veterinary Schools; Start
a “Pet Emergency Fund” at your bank; If
you have a specific breed, some clubs for different breeds offer assistance; If
the cat is not yours, ask the Vet for a “Good Samaritan” discount; Ask
for a written prescription and fill it at an online pet supply; Ask
if the Vet has sample medications to give; Ask
