Aid Needed for Cat's Vet Bills

So a few weeks ago my cat was attacked. We do not know who or what it was, but the vet told my family he was likely shot. He is fine and is recovering fairly well. But… the vet bill came out to around $1,200 and his medicine was $150, plus an extra $60 for shot and the such. I would be very grateful for anything. When he first got shot my family did not tell me at all, and when they did I thought it was a cruel joke but it turned out to be true. The day it happened the vet told my stepdad that it was either $200 for him to be euthanized or $1200 to save him and he did not hesitate to tell the vet to save my baby. My cat means the world to me and I want to repay my stepdad however I can, as he does not have a lot of money.
