I'm surprised they had him cremated without payment up front. My vet and my ex-husbands vet both wouldn't have the kitties cremated without payment.

I'm really thankful that the vet you went to did that for you and didn't tell you, "No money, no cremation."

I wish I could help you with funds to get him home. I'm still broke after not working most of the last year.

Sending hugs and prayers to you.
