Please Help Me With Teddy's Hospitalization

Donation protected
My dearest sweet friend Teddy is currently in the hospital and it was recommended he stay for 3 nights. He had heart failure last year and now is struggling with kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and now pancreatitis. Aside from these past few days he was doing amazing. You would never know anything was wrong with him. He looks young, active, and still purrs like crazy. We have had a team of drs working hard to keep him stable. For the past year I've had to bring him every 3 months for echo cardiograms, chest x-rays, and check ups with internal medicine department. Not to mention the costs of 4 medications every few months. I currently maxed out my care credit at $5, 147 from all of this. They want him to stay 3 nights at least estimated at $8,813.16 on the high end. They were very clear if they kept him it could be life saving.  I immediately broke down crying. I'm so angry and sad that we live in a world where we have to choose our dearest loves lives or money we don't have and go into debt. I chose to keep him there for 2 nights and that estimate is $6,803 on the high end.( Including all estimates for full disclosure). I'm now $11,351 in the hole with everything not including a 3rd night and treatment moving forward. I can't bear to put him down. Not when i see how fine he was doing. Purring, normal, lovely self just a few days ago. The worst part about it all is knowing there's a chance he wont make it back home. I know this is a completely awful time to ask for help. But if you're in the position to, I humbly ask for donations, even just a dollar, and if not then sharing this could mean everything. Thank you so much. It's really hard for me to ask for help but i don't know what else to do. This cat means more to me than life itself. In the many years i was bedridden seeing him next to me purring was quite literally the only thing that kept me going. Thank you for listening.  Thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart thank you.
