I made vet payments but it was so worth it I could not imagine being with my kitties. The blood work is mandatory for dental so the cat will not pass from other complications while under anesthesia. The labs only run certain tests at certain locations. That's why they keep taking it and sending it to different places.
Unfortunately this is just a hard situation because you need to find out if there is an underline issue that caused your cat to have such bad dental problems.
My cat ended having several periodontal diseases (due to inbreeding, rag doll breed I found in the desert) that is why it progressed so bad to worse than your cat had.
Keep us posted on Bella. Aw thank you for your advice. Actually though, there are 2 cats I'm talking about...theres Bella who is the blk cat in my pic, just recently passed in May. She had cancer they think b/c of how quickly she went. The cat now I'm talking about now is Cody, he's my male cat. But anyway, I will talk to my vet and see what he says about your suggestion. However when I took my female cat there in the past, Bella, I had asked them about making payments or something b/c it was costing a ton of $, it was right near my wedding so of course I was strapped, in the end it wound up being close to 1000 with her. So I doubt they will do anything. And now, I still dont have an extra $1000 for Cody ( I'm feeling like I'm at a wall as far as options go so I might just save and have the surg at my local vet when I get enough. I know Joe dont want me to, he thinks they're ripping me off, but I dont really care what he thinks right now. I am waiting for the SPCA to get back to me and will go from there.
