My cat needs an emergency colopexy

Donation protected
My name is Judson, and my cat Sookie needs a colopexy. Unfortunately, I have reached my limit with CareCredit and cannot afford the surgery she needs to save her life. There are really only about 2 or 3 days left before surgery will no longer be a viable option, so I need to be able to fund this quickly to give her a chance.

I’ve had Sookie for 12 years. She’s in very good health except for a recurring issue with a rectal prolapse, which I've been caring for at home for the past few years. She's reached a point where the tissue will not go back inside of her body without medical intervention.

Two weeks ago, I took Sookie to an emergency veterinary clinic, where they put her under anesthesia and did a procedure called a purse string suture to replace her colon. This worked until yesterday, when the prolapse returned. She is unable to use the bathroom and her bottom is a bloody mess. I also had to take out a line of credit with CareCredit in order to afford the thousands of dollars they charged for this temporary procedure, so I am now in a situation where I already owe a significant amount for something that didn't work.

The clinic that initially treated her told me not to bring her back there, as they are unequipped to do the actual surgery, which will cure this problem permanently; a colopexy. Unfortunately, because the soft tissue begins to die and become necrotic quickly, I need to get her care within the next 48 hours. I've desperately called around to many clinics trying to find someone who can treat her as affordably as possible, and will need to be able to fund between $3000 and $5000 for her emergency surgery. Edit: We are currently at $2000 for the first emergency visit, $600 for diagnostics, and have a quote for $2500 for the final surgery. So if we can get to $5k it will cover everything!

She is a happy and loving cat, and she's still in otherwise good health. It's killing me to think she could die in the next few days simply because I can't afford a very common surgery for an issue that is very treatable. Can you help me get Sookie the care she needs?
