Barb, Sorry don't have any experience in this area. As for the chemo I think a few cats that one of my fellow rescuers has had chemo and had no side effect but it didn't really help the cat was too far into cancer.
As for feeling guilty don't feel guilty you cat is your baby and we all do what we can for our furkids. I know I maxed my cc for my Bamama the one month but that's what I did. Jelly Roll is yours and the I am sure people will help the little girl since people are bound to help children. Sending healing vibes to Jelly Roll.
