Nala is my senior cat of thirteen years. On 9 August we rushed to Girona Animal Hospital with kidney failure. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $2,200. They have stabilized Nala, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Nala is more than a pet - Nala walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $90 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 Girona Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,200 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,500 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $510 • Medication and follow-up visits: $190 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
