Pet's info: Cat | American Longhair | Female | spayed
My cat got an unofficial diagnosis of either lymphoma or an intestinal disease. My parents refuse to treat her and may not even pay for the tests. I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to try to help her despite the fact I’m a broke college kid.

I'm so sorry about this diagnosis. I'm going to give you some resources that may help you afford these things for her. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ I hope one of these helps you!
