Emergency vet bill for Simba in Parramatta
Please help Hazel pay for Simba's emergency treatment at the Parramatta Emergency Vet Clinic.
🇦🇺 Australia2,751 views
Simba is my senior cat of two years. On 5 December we rushed to the Parramatta Emergency Vet Clinic with severe tick fever. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $3,000.
They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond February.
Simba is more than a pet - Simba is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $300 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 Parramatta Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $3,000 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $1,800
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $610
• Medication and follow-up visits: $350
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $240
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Hazel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Bogor.
best of luck, Hazel. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Kediri this morning. God bless.
Take care. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Parramatta!
So sorry you're going through this, Hazel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Parramatta
Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Love from Arlington.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Sending love. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Blessings.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Austin so I could bring a meal
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Johannesburg but we're thinking of you. All the best
Rooting for you, Hazel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Bornova.
Hope things get better soon, Hazel. Give Simba a hug from me
