serious trouble

I’m not really sure how to start this, I have a cat that I’ve had since maybe a year ago and he was a stray kitten that I ended up keeping although I struggle a lot with my own life, I usually pay for his everything before I pay for anything I need and he’s my world. Recently I found out he has internal parasites, I don’t have a vet because I can’t afford one (I’m also only 16, family is out the picture and so is a job atm) I could only afford one bottle of medicine because it’s too expensive since it’s like $40 a bottle but I needed two more since the medication is a month long requirement but I’ve found these nasty creatures in my babies fur and so far he’s had two baths within these two weeks, I’m an online artist but also a small artist and I guess what the community thinks of as beginner (I am casual with digital art and I’d like to feel as if I’m slightly talented with actual drawing) and it’s so difficult to get any requests it’s not like my prices are high because they’re 5-15$ since it’s intimidating to ask for more? I cant get a job because I have no papers or a way to get back and fourth and I live with my sibling far away from family but we don’t have any supportive family anyways. I need advice on how to get money or at least enough for this medication which is like 80 all together and I already spent 100 that I was saving when it started because it was really bad and I’ve been keeping my cat quarantined in the bathroom until I can finish treatment but he’s obviously not happy in the bathroom and I don’t want to keep him in there any longer than he’s already been in there, I really have no way of getting money aside making it I’ve tried to sell stuff I own but that’s not working either, this is very important to me and I just need advice, help or anything because this keeps weighing really heavy on my heart and mind, I’m also not in school at the moment because we move around so much due to our financial situation so I haven’t had the chance to be enrolled, I feel stuck and frustrated lately
