Im presuming here the first vet didnt do a complete and thorough xray of the cat to verify the full nature of its injuries? isnt that negligence or was you refered to a animal hospital similar to Rutland house where they specialise in specific injuries.I hope now after all this you have changed your vet cos i know i wouldnt be wanting to trust them.
I do believe that the RSPCA will help towards vet fees if owner is struggling another route i would of gone down rather than the newspaper

dear polly,
the initial vets approach concerned my frend that there was an underlying econmical issue for them. The fees started at 500 and within a 5 days had reached around 2000. the vets were changed and a the professionalism and integrity of the nurses and vets at the second establishment were above par. Whilst at the vets, my friend saw many animals in pain..some abuseed, some without owners with horrifuic injuries..hence the aim to raise money for the operation, and the rest of the money raised to be donated to the rspca and other reputable animal charities. Taking gracefully is one aspect..but its better when you can also give something back.
