Alot of vet hospitals offer boarding for cats so hopefully this hospital in Auburn does as well. If they do offer this, maybe you could provide some bedding that smells like home and other comforting things. And hopefully you could visit her each week to let her know that you haven't gone away or anything.
If the hospital doesn't board cats, maybe you could locate a boarding facility close to the hospital and ask them how much more they might charge to run her to the clinic each day. I know it seems like no one would do that but if I ran a boarding facility and someone asked me, I'd do it. I'd have to factor in the cost of travel to and from the clinic and time but it could be do-able.
Praying for the best outcome!
