Willow is my senior cat of two years. On 2 September we rushed to Austin Animal Hospital with severe tick fever. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $2,650. They have stabilized Willow, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Willow is more than a pet - Willow 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 Austin Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,650 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,350 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $810 • Medication and follow-up visits: $120 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $370 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Gabriel
