Max is my senior cat of nine years. On 5 September we rushed to the San Diego Emergency Vet Clinic with pyometra. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $2,450. They have stabilized Max, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Max is more than a pet - Max walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $250 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 San Diego Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Max's recovery. Where the $2,450 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $165 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $240 • Emergency surgery: $2,045 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Beau

Updates from Beau

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,196 in total) I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from San Diego: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 56% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Quick update: $594 raised so far (24%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

          • Beau HowardOwnerAnswer

            It's all in the list in the story. medication and follow-up visits is the big one at $165, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.

          • Good luck, Beau. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
