Help Dimitrios save Buddy - surgery needed
A cat named Buddy needs emergency surgery - a $1,050 bill the family can't cover.
Anywhere in the world1,540 views
Buddy is my cat of two years. On 24 December we rushed to Thessaloniki Animal Hospital with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $1,050.
They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond March.
Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy got me through my hardest year. I have already put $150 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 Thessaloniki Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $390
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $440
• Medication and follow-up visits: $80
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $140
I hope life is good to you.

Give Buddy a hug from me. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dimitrios.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. emergency surgery comes first ($390) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Hialeah.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Thessaloniki.
Thanks for sharing this. Give Buddy a hug from me. Don't give up.
Sending strength, Dimitrios. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Keep going, Dimitrios. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
