Help Lúcia save Ziggy - surgery needed
Ziggy, Lúcia's cat, needs urgent treatment for kidney failure costing $500.

Ziggy is my cat of three years. On 8 August we rushed to Campinas Veterinary Centre with kidney failure. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $500.
They have stabilized Ziggy, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Ziggy is more than a pet - Ziggy got me through my hardest year. I have already put $95 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 Campinas Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Ziggy's recovery.
Where the $500 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $400
• Medication and follow-up visits: $45
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $55
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
Updates from Lúcia
Wanted to say thank you properly. 49% funded and the plan for emergency surgery is now scheduled.
30% there. I made the first payment toward emergency surgery. Thank you.
Update from Campinas: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Rawalpindi.
sending strength. Poor Ziggy, hope they feel better soon. Love from Rohini
Stay strong, Lúcia. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
