Default ill kitty with no support

A few months ago I was home from University when my mother noticed my 6
year old cat, Niki was bleeding and her anus looked overly swollen and
bloody. i myself took her to the vet who claimed it as a prolapsed anus,
and when he pushed it back into place he said he felt something that
could be a tumor. He asked that we come back in to do blood work and any
necessary surgery depending on the blood results (cancer or not). He
gave me an estimate of $1,000. I reported the news to my parents and
they blew it off stating we didn't have the money. She wasn't bleeding
anymore and that was their concern. The past few months Niki has been
acting normal but you can tell she is sick. When we went to the vet she
was just over 6lbs in weight, and you can really tell that she is very
underweight even though she eats regularly. I have no support from my
parents about what to do with the poor baby, and my brother and I are
just college kids with no money. Should we just let her be until time
runs out?


Consult with several different vets.

Ask your local Humane Society or Animal Rescue League, et al for any
ideas.

Hope something works out for you and kitty.
