So I fostered and then adopted an older calico named Lilly. Lilly had some health problems, a respiratory infection and what I was told was cat acne. She needed time away from the shelter to get better and I had lots of room and heart to help her get better so I offered to foster her through her illness. Long story short, I ended up adopting her and getting through most of her health issues. Well I come to find out after having her "acne" looked and 3k in medical treatment and after it not subsiding that she actually has a form of cancer... I was and still am completely floored by this, and angered that the humane society hadn't looked further into the growths on her jaw before fostering her. Anyway, after taking her to the oncologist I've been told she needs a cat scan (no pun intended) and surgery. Cat scan is about 1.5k up front and the treatment can be 4.5k+. Thank goodness I got her insurance right from the beginning, but this is still cash I don't have upfront to get her treated. The insurance reimburses you, so I need to pay for everything upfront first. My question is, can I borrow this money from my 401k and pay it back when I get the reimbursement from my insurance? I'm desperate to save her and I've tried all I can think of, but just don't have the disposable cash to front the costs of the treatments. ☹️ Edit : cat tax http://imgur.com/gallery/SolUGT1
