This sounds like a wonderful idea, Robert.  We live in a community of
rather affluent people who treasure their pets.  I'm sure your
services would be needed here.

Where do you live?

Do you have a reliable friend nearby who could do meds while you are at work?  
I know it sounds crazy, but when Shallie's kittens were only days old, my boss 
let me bring them and keep their basket under my desk so I could give them a 
bottle when they were hungry.  I was fortunate that he was also an animal 
lover.  (She had been run over by a car when they were only 4 days old)Or if 
you will be making a fair amount of $$, could you hire a pet sitter to care for 
them?

I've donated to a number of "GoFundMe" (and other similar) campaigns, and also 
donated directly with a paypal address. I dont know how either works really, 
but if you set one up, please post a link here.

Oh Randy, I am so THRILLED to hear of your positive response to the 
medications, and that your vet was so helpful. (What does your vet 
think of the response?) You may think that 15% haematocrit is still 
very sick, and it is still well outside the normal range, but you?ve 
basically had a 60% increase in haematocrit in 3 weeks. That is quite 
amazing and wonderful. It is as good a result as you would have had 
with 2 units of blood being given as a transfusion, only it is much 
better than a transfusion because Curly is producing her own cells, 
rather than temporarily
