Emergency vet bill for Nala in London

A cat named Nala needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $600 bill the family cannot cover.

Nala is my cat of eleven years. On 12 March we rushed to London Animal Hospital with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $600. They have stabilized Nala, but the treatment can't wait beyond May. Nala is more than a pet - Nala got me through my hardest year. I have already put $270 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 London Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $600 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $100 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $135 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $365 Thank you for reading my story.
