Help Kevin save Nala - surgery needed

A cat named Nala needs orthopedic surgery - a $600 bill the family can't cover.

Nala is my cat of nine years. On 5 September we rushed to Johannesburg Animal Hospital with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $600. They have stabilized Nala, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Nala is more than a pet - Nala is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $80 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 Johannesburg Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $600 goes: • Emergency surgery: $330 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $190 • Medication and follow-up visits: $65 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $15 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Kevin
