Mocha is my senior cat of thirteen years. On 18 May we rushed to Edinburgh Veterinary Centre with a broken leg after a road accident. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $2,700. They have stabilized Mocha, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Mocha is more than a pet - Mocha walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $260 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 Edinburgh Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Mocha's recovery. Where the $2,700 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,750 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $590 • Medication and follow-up visits: $240 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $120 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
