Help Andrés save Simba - surgery needed
A tabby kitten named Simba needs emergency surgery - a $950 bill the family can't cover.

Simba is my tabby kitten of two years. On 24 September we rushed to Tuxtla Gutiérrez Animal Hospital with severe tick fever. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $950.
They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond January.
Simba is more than a pet - Simba is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $85 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 Tuxtla Gutiérrez Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $950 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $570
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $230
• Medication and follow-up visits: $40
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $110
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck, Andrés. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

Take care, Andrés. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Thinking of you and your family, Andrés. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 33 people at work. Take care.
