Default EMERGENCY!!: Seriously injured cat and I CANNOT do anything about it (sort of - READ!) PLEASE HELP!

EMERGENCY!!: Seriously injured cat and I CANNOT do anything about
it (sort of - READ!) PLEASE HELP!

I have him in my home and I'm providing food and water for a
SERIOUSLY malnourished young male (I think, haven't checked) with
exposed hips and ribs with a mangled left arm.

The weird WEIRD weird lady who happened to be walking around in her
front yard when we spotted the kitty (at 4:30AM) says it is was the
next door neighbor's cat, the arm was broken a LONG time ago she
said (yeah ****ing right, that's why the arm is scarred over but
seeping serum?!) and they finally got tired of it because their dog
would attack it.

As she loved and kissed on it the spouse pushed her out of the way
to close the car door (he was disgusted).

So I'm asking or telling you all this...

I need help. Either financially because I cannot take the burden
of this poor kitty at the moment.

(cybercat, please don't choose now to be a bitch.)

....or I need someone to take this cat immediately. The options are
as follows as I understand them.

1) The "dog pound" will immediately euthanize this kitty because
of the severity of its condition.

2) The refuge cannot take more animals at the moment (and will not
take an injured animal of this extent -- yeah... refuge huh?)

3) The vets will NOT take this kitty as far as I know because I
cannot pay for the care which they want to know up front.

4) I cut Gabby and Phat Kat's food bill in half this month (going
back to dry food) and pay to have this poor "Puss Puss" (as the
crazy bitch who claimed she loved him, called him) sent to the
Rainbow Bridge.

5) The local Petco-type shops around here will tell us the same
thing they have in the past. "Call animal control." Which is our
"dog pound."

6) Nurse the poor kitty as best as I can (I'm afraid to touch him
he's in such bad condition) for a day or two -- even leave a bit of
food (and watch him eat it, because the fifty or sixty strays
around here will show up to steal it) outside for him and then
finally stop after a day or so because I have other animals that
roam this area (my animal friends as well as wooded strangers --
raccoons, opossums, coyotes, et cetera). Yes, #6 is abandoning the
kitty. Again... don't be bitches people.

If someone wants to help let me know HOW. I can provide vet
details and have someone else pay for it (to alleviate trust
issues) or someone can pick him up?? I have NO CLUE what the hell
to do right now, but I'm freaking out and crying right this moment
because the poor kitty is seriously screwed up.

Please help or advise or something!?!?! Please.
