Nala is my senior cat of two years. On 27 June we rushed to the Utrecht Emergency Vet Clinic with kidney failure. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $700. They have stabilized Nala, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Nala is more than a pet - Nala got me through my hardest year. I have already put $200 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 the Utrecht Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $700 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $135 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $300 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $265 Thanks for reading all this.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marcel!

    • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. medication and follow-up visits comes first ($135) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Praying for you, Marcel. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Saket.

    • hang in there, Marcel. Hope this works out for you. Take care.

        good luck, Marcel. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

        • give Nala a hug from me. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
