QUICK! Rather urgent - have to make a life or death decision for my poor cat :(

I have a 9 year old cat who has had huge urinary tract issues throughout most of his life.
He has been cathertarised (dreadful sp I'm sure but have no idea where to start on spelling that one!) around 6 times.
He's trying to wee and not suceeding again (bloomin would be the night DH is away) so I have to take him to the vets.
Each time he goes and is in for a week. We have insurance but now have to pay £80 excess and financial circumstances mean that there's no way we can keep on doing this
Are there any other options other than having this cat put down? He is a lovely boy and I don't want to put him down simply because we can't afford it.
I know the vet is going to offer this as an option tonight as we have sort of had this conversation before.
Any advice would be really helpful. Thank you

Thank you beautifulgirls, I hope this sorts him out now. Poor thing gets so stressed travelling to the vets that he's beside himself when he arrives.
Just Annual booster trips from now on would be great
Keeping those fingers crossed!
