Cass my heart is breaking for that poor infant kitty. Being a rescuer/ foster home myself, there is no $$$ to help with bills, but I am sending multiple prayers for the kitten. Maggots can really do a number on kitties (fleas too). I hope he can be built up enough to withstand the surgery. You may want to contact http://www.imom.org/ to see if they can help financially. Keep us posted, and many prayers for the tiny guy.
