Spartacus needs surgery

My kitty Spartacus is 16 and we found out he has an infection in his jaw because of a bad tooth and it has to come out. I've been trying to make enough to get him into surgery but between hurricanes, plagues and well 2020 in general it keeps getting put off. I'm afraid he cant wait much longer for medical attention so I'm going to try this and see if I can get him in medical attention. I hate asking for help but my grandmother always said "pride goeth before the fall". I don't want him to suffer because I didnt ask for help.
