To pay for my cats upcoming surgery and medication

Hi, my name is Cora and my fur baby is Lucious. He's a 1 year old domestic long hair. All his life he's had trouble breathing and we just figured out why and what surgery he would need. I just recieved the estimate today and, on the high end, it's $8,273.48. I have less than 1000 dollars to me name at the moment and can't afford to pay for his surgery that is coming in about a week unless we push it back. But, the longer we push it back, the greater chance he will become unable to breathe due to the growth in his air way.

He's my baby and emotional support animal. He got me through a lot of stuff and I refuse to not give him the help he needs. I hate asking for money but, in this, I have no choice. I ask for help being he deserves to live a good life. Please help me help him live and survive.
