Bruno is my tabby kitten of two years. On 10 November we rushed to Parramatta Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $2,850. They have stabilized Bruno, but the treatment can't wait beyond January. Bruno is more than a pet - Bruno is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $175 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. Funds will be paid straight to Parramatta Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Bruno's recovery. Where the $2,850 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,800 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $730 • Medication and follow-up visits: $195 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $125 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Good luck, Doris. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
