I'm so sorry to hear that she's still very sick. Hopefully you'll be able to make payments to your vet but I know that ER vets want everything paid in full so in the past I've had to use my credit cards and then try to pay them off. Everyone here understands how you can form a very strong bond with an animal so you sure won't get the reponse of "She's only a cat." I've never had children so my furkids really are like my kids to me so I know exactly where you're coming from. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent Paris's way. Please take care.
