I once had two of my cats get into big trouble at the same time. I had had wall-to-wall carpet put down and you know how the woolly part of the carpet is sort of woven to the rubber backing with some very thin nylon thread? Well, that nylon thread was apparently irresistible to cats so one of them gobbled down 2 feet of it and the other nearly 6 feet! They both needed major surgery ASAP to get it unravelled out of their intestines at approx $3000 a piece. That was a lot of money for me! I was desperate, so I went to the library and loaned a book listing all sorts of charitable foundations and trust funds. (It was called "Legat Håndbogen" in Danish. I'm sorry I don't know what the equivalent of such a book is called in English, but if you ask the librarian maybe they know of such a compendium.) Those kinds of trust funds are often set up by people who leave all their money to a trust fund to be given out to their favourite good causes etc. I found a fund that was set up by two spinster sisters, who loved cats and gave away money to help cats in need. There are often certain criteria that must be fulfilled, but if you wade through some of all the miriad of foundations and trust funds, you are almost certain to find one that can help. I applied and they gave me a grant. They paid all of the vet bills, including the aftercare and medicine. They were truly a Godsend. Maybe you can search for similar foundations or trust funds in the country you live in? There are such foundations for practically any and everything imaginable. I do hope all will be well with little Jack.
