Bless your hearts, most people would never even consider half of what you have done to extend the life of their cats. I would personally never do that. I am not really into prolonging a life when I am not quite sure I would want that done for me, animals can't tell you what they want. Clearly you know that, but going into financial debt and not really considering your own self... no.

Everybody has a different threshold and everybody has to decide for themselves what's right for their pets.
I know my cats very well. I know when they in pain or something else is wrong: vocalizing. not eating, not grooming, lethargy, hiding etc...
Willa is keeping herself clean, she never misses the litterbox, she's affectionate and she still plays a little. I also work very closely with her veterinarian to make sure she's not suffering.
And the money? I know what I can afford. And when I got my cats I knew there would be a lifelong financial and
emotional commitment.

I was lucky enough to get a grant from ACTSS (Animal Cancer Treatment Subsidization Society) that was $2500 and another one-time fund a friend applied for on my behalf for a special assessment (which I had already paid) around $2600. Plus, Tails of Help granted me $500. I was able to pay for the surgery and major testing which included a bone marrow aspirate.

I am so very grateful for all this help - and I had a GoFundMe which brought in some dollars as well. I even took on a paper route covering summer holiday shifts!

Aside from projectile vomiting Cole was not noticeably ill. He was pulling tufts of fur from his abdomen which stopped after he had his spleen removed.

There should be a chapter of ACTSS in BC. Also there is financing through petcard.ca. Rate is %17 and you can pretty much set your own payment time up to 6 years.
