    Take it to the vet - you already said the emergency vet would charge 87 euro and you'd pay anything for an animal. You don't really have another choice. If it isn't salvageable, it needs to be PTS humanely instead of left to suffer.

    OP can you give more details on the cat's condition and we might be able to help a bit more. Keep the cat good and warm for now.

    Fair play to you for giving the animal a warm place to pass away.
