Emergency vet bill for Max in Latina

Max is my senior cat of eleven years. On 29 August we rushed to the Latina Emergency Vet Clinic with pyometra. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,450. They have stabilized Max, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Max is more than a pet - Max is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $145 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 the Latina Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Max's recovery. Where the $1,450 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $135 • Emergency surgery: $1,000 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $315 Thank you so much.
