Harold has sent you donations in the past-- as a former supporter of your unlicensed, un- registered , unaccounted for non tax exempt facility - he certainly DOES have a right to query why you purchased expensive merchandising display units but now owe the vet $4,00.00 This , your rescue, is accountable for -- one of the things you oppose being a 501c3 organization for. It is unwise to owe a veterinary practitioner this type of money, they need to stay in practice to continue to help animals. I don't remeber seeing a lot of free education for vet schools offered!
