Pixel is my senior cat of eleven years. On 19 April we rushed to Gold Coast Veterinary Centre with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,600. They have stabilized Pixel, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Pixel is more than a pet - Pixel got me through my hardest year. I have already put $280 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 Gold Coast Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,600 goes: • Emergency surgery: $780 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $450 • Medication and follow-up visits: $210 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $160 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Marilyn

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($462 in total) I made the first payment toward diagnostics. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. 18% there. I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
