going back to gay space jail

At first glance, he may seem like an avid reader or an academic because he's carrying a heavy tome but he's actually a performative reader suffering from severe reader's block and he just carries this book around hoping maybe he can read a few pages but mostly he ends up zoned out of his mind and doomstares pensively at the sky or the horizon, thinking about what’s for lunch.

Ronald the Rat is a needle felted soft sculpture made with natural grey and white native Himalayan wool sourced from Dunda Village, Harsil Valley in Uttarakhand, India and dyed New Zealand Corriedale Wool. His legs, arms and tail are wire wrapped with thread and his eyes are glass.

I really hate to be doing this but I'm kind of panicking and I don't know what else to do right now. My cat Bram has a severely loose tooth that needs to be extracted. It's gotten to the point where it's impacting his ability to eat and his overall comfort. He has a scheduled procedure on Wednesday June 17, and the total cost will be $750. I can afford to cover $400 myself (and I've already put down a 50$ surgical hold) but that leaves me with $350 left that I can't currently account for. I've been in contact with a couple organizations that might be able to help cover vet costs but I haven't heard back from them and knowing that there are only a couple days until his appointment, I don't feel safe just waiting for something that might not come. I'm a queer, mentally ill freelance artist and already struggling financially. My vet doesn't take care credit or do payment plans so if I can't cover the full cost then I have to cancel the appointment, lose my deposit and let my cat continue to suffer until I can save up the rest.

I'm really sorry to even ask, because I know everything sucks right now but I feel like I'm up against a wall, so if anyone is able to spare anything at all I'd be extremely grateful.
