first of all let me say i hope your kitty gets well. i once had a cat that suddenly had diarrhea and vomiting. the vet did xrays and nothing showed. he finally had to do surgery and turns out the cat had swallowed cellophane which doesn't show up on an xray. the cat recovered and al was well.
second, let me say that i would never had married someone who did not feel the same way i did about pets, especially if i already had one before we got married - big red flag. people (men especially) who don't like cats usually have a controlling personality. not the type of person i'd want to be married to. what if the guy had a dog and you didn't like dogs. do you really think he'd get rid of it for you? no! he'd tell you to learn to like it and he would most likely do whatever it took if the dog got sick. do you have any say in your marriage or does your husband run the whole show? there's some place in your budget that you can cut back for whatever time it takes to get your cat well.
third, pets are not disposable and i will never understand people who take on the responsibility only as long as all goes well and they don't cost them too much money. a person should only have as many pets as they can afford to take care of - just like having kids.
i'm sorry if this sounds harsh but i really get irritated. i've done pet adoptions and i've heard every excuse in the book for surrendering a pet.
best of luck. i hope you make the right decisions.
