My cat Pumpkin has swallowed a string and not eating, drinking, or using the litter box. We are taking her into the vet tomorrow and surgery is the most common solution. My parents won't pay for the surgery and I don't have enough money to pay either. So if there is nothing to do but surgery, my parents said we have to put her down. What should I do? is there anything I can do at home to help her?
