Emergency vet bill for Tucker in Londrina
Tucker, Samuel's senior cat, needs urgent treatment for kidney failure costing $550.
🇧🇷 Londrina, Paraná, BrazilPosted Oct 1, 2026854 views
Tucker is my senior cat of two years. On 15 September we rushed to Londrina Veterinary Centre with kidney failure. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $550.
They have stabilized Tucker, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Tucker is more than a pet - Tucker walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $60 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 Londrina Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $550 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $260
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $180
• Medication and follow-up visits: $25
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $85
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Quick update: $84 raised so far (15%). I made the first payment toward diagnostics. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
We're at 33% thanks to 7 of you. I made the first payment toward diagnostics. More news soon.
Thank you all. We're at 60% now ($332). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for emergency surgery is now scheduled.

Keep going, Samuel. Poor Tucker, hope they feel better soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Petrópolis this morning
Praying for you, Samuel. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Mumbai
Sending strength, Samuel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Wollongong but we're thinking of you. God bless.
