Emergency vet bill for Maple in Düsseldorf

Please help Heinz pay for Maple's emergency treatment at the Düsseldorf Emergency Vet Clinic.

Düsseldorf
Maple is my senior cat of two years. On 20 August we rushed to the Düsseldorf Emergency Vet Clinic with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $2,300. They have stabilized Maple, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Maple is more than a pet - Maple walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $120 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 the Düsseldorf Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,300 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,600 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $300 • Medication and follow-up visits: $170 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $230 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
