Help Jessica save Ziggy - surgery needed
A senior cat named Ziggy needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $700 bill the family can't cover.

Ziggy is my senior cat of thirteen years. On 25 July we rushed to Soweto Veterinary Centre with kidney failure. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $700.
They have stabilized Ziggy, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Ziggy is more than a pet - Ziggy is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $40 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 Soweto Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $700 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $530
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $60
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $110
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jessica.
It's all in the list in the story. emergency surgery is the big one at $530, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
