Emergency vet bill for Finn in Petrópolis
Finn, Rafael's tabby kitten, needs urgent treatment for a tumor on the spleen costing $700.
Anywhere in the world809 views
Finn is my tabby kitten of eleven years. On 20 November we rushed to Petrópolis Veterinary Centre with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $700.
They have stabilized Finn, but the treatment can't wait beyond February.
Finn is more than a pet - Finn is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $40 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Petrópolis Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $700 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $480
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $125
• Medication and follow-up visits: $35
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $60
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best!
Keep going. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Put this on a community board in San Fernando this morning. Love from San Fernando.
Best of luck, Rafael. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
