I'm splitting the vet bill with the owners, and making a donation in his memory to the shelter we adopted Lyra from. I've given the owners the link as well, and told them that they are welcome there at any time to just hang out and socialize with the cats, whether they're interested in adopting one at some point or not.
Thank you everyone for your kind words and moral support!
