Maple is my cat of nine years. On 28 May we rushed to San Diego Animal Hospital with severe tick fever. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $2,650. They have stabilized Maple, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Maple is more than a pet - Maple is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $130 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan. Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back. Funds will be paid straight to San Diego Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Maple's recovery. Where the $2,650 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,750 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $230 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $670 Thanks for being kind about this. - Hadley
