Help Fergal save Pepper - surgery needed
A tabby kitten named Pepper needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $3,050 bill the family can't cover.
🇮🇪 Leinster, Ireland753 views
Pepper is my tabby kitten of six years. On 16 April we rushed to Kilkenny Veterinary Centre with severe tick fever. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $3,050.
They have stabilized Pepper, but the treatment can't wait beyond June.
Pepper is more than a pet - Pepper got me through my hardest year. I have already put $340 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 Kilkenny Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $2,100
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $470
• Medication and follow-up visits: $210
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $270
Glad we found this place.

hope it all works out, Fergal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Poor Pepper, hope they feel better soon. After 27 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Good luck, Fergal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
How is Fergal doing now?
Wishing you the best, Fergal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Kilkenny.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fergal.
Emergency surgery is $2,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
You're not alone, Fergal. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Stay strong, Fergal. Poor Pepper, hope they feel better soon. Please keep us posted.
