Help with Pumpkin’s vet bills

Update: Last night Pumpkin was released to me from my regular vet and she was very sick, on the brink of death. I took her to the Emergency vet and they tried everything they could, including blood transfusion, oxygen, and even gave her CPR when she crashed. I could have continued treatment, but the doctors all felt she would not recover and have a good quality of life. I had to make the difficult choice to euthanize her so she could go peacefully while in my arms and being told how much I loved her.

$10,000 later and my Pumpkin is still gone. I am absolutely devastated right now.

Hi, my name is Karen and my cat Pumpkin went missing on Apr. 6 in the Costco parking lot. I have been searching for her day and night ever since, and the great news is that she was found this morning! She is in very rough shape though, as she is 21 years old and was out on her own for 7 days. All her vitals are improving slowly, but she is going to need at least a couple of days in vet care. She is currently on oxygen, IV fluids, and warming her up. Her temp is barely registering, her heart rate is dangerously slow and she has dangerously low blood-sugar levels. Still, the vet has seen a slight improvement and is “cautiously optimistic” that she will pull through.

The bill is going to be well over $4,000, but I have to try to save her. She has been my best friend for 21 years! I know she is old, but she has been so healthy for her age and I believe she will have many more years in her if she can pull through this.

Any help you can give would be very much appreciated!
