Nala is my senior cat of three years. On 22 August we rushed to Johannesburg Veterinary Centre with severe tick fever. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $600.
They have stabilized Nala, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Nala is more than a pet - Nala got me through my hardest year. I have already put $55 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 Johannesburg Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Nala's recovery.
Where the $600 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $220
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $210
• Medication and follow-up visits: $70
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $100
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong. Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hang in there, Shireen. Hope you get there. Greetings from Asaba.
Hope things get better soon, Shireen. Shared it with a few friends
So sorry you're going through this, Shireen. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
