Emergency vet bill for Simba in Bonny
A senior cat named Simba needs orthopedic surgery - a $250 bill the family can't cover.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,373 views
Simba is my senior cat of eleven years. On 22 April we rushed to the Bonny Emergency Vet Clinic with kidney failure. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $250.
They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond August.
Simba is more than a pet - Simba walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $20 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 the Bonny Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Simba's recovery.
Where the $250 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $105
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $75
• Medication and follow-up visits: $50
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $20
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Chidinma?
hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
