My cat Ace needs help

Donation protected
This is my cat Ace. Saturday morning I noticed Ace did not seem like himself. First thing I did was check him out and noticed his gums, ears and eyes where  yellow he was not eating either.  This morning I took him to the vet to find out if he would survive this. His CBC was great so we ruled out cancer. His liver panel is very high. An ultrasound showed his liver inflamed. The game plan at this point is spend the next 3 days in the hospital with aggressive IV treatment to flush the liver and jaundice. Also to give him strong meds to boost the liver. I've paid for his care up to the 3 days in the hospital. Hoping he does not need further aggressive treatment. This has put a financial burden on us. We have to move out of our home at the end of this month into a new home. This has been a shock to us.

Ace is a special cat. He is a polydactyl or Hemingway cat. A type of cat I always wanted. He came to us the day after Thanksgiving 5 years ago. This tiny kitten came into our yard because our kids where outside enjoying the lights we spent the day putting up. He played with the kids and ran through the lights. Once my daughter caught him we noticed he had blue perminate marker all over him. Only to find out the kittens with marker on them is usually used as bait for fighting dogs. This has not been proven but considering where we lived it is possible. He escaped that mess. The next morning my husband and I had to go to work. My husband was concerned where this kitten was. I had not seen him and we had thrown things in the truck all morning. He went to start the truck and heard a huge thump and the truck shut off. My husband got upset and told me to go get a shovel that we had just killed a kitten. I was crying and ran in the house not wanting to witness this. Also to tell my daughter what happened. As we sat crying together I hear my husband yelling to me to get outside this kitten was not dead. I went outside and he is holding this kitten that is limp and knocked out cold. Only visible wounds on him is a small cut above the eye. I tell my daughter to take him to the shelter and surrender him so they can put him down. A few minutes after we leave she calls to tell me she is taking him to the vet with her own money to see if he will be ok. The vet looked at him and said he should be fine if he woke up. To bring him home and if he was not awake by Monday he would need a MRI to see what his brain was doing. Sunday evening he woke up and has been out little (big) fella since. He is named Ace after the song Ace of Spades by Motörhead. It was fitting considering what happened to him.

Please help us to pay for his medical care.
