Please help Mateo pay for Bruno's emergency treatment at Bakersfield Veterinary Centre.

Bruno is my senior cat of nine years. On 26 August we rushed to Bakersfield Veterinary Centre with pyometra. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $2,650.
They have stabilized Bruno, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Bruno is more than a pet - Bruno is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $180 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 Bakersfield Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Bruno's recovery.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $1,100
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $910
• Medication and follow-up visits: $185
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $455
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. It's not much but it's yours
Rooting for you, Mateo. Give Bruno a hug from me. Blessings.
hang in there, Mateo. Give Bruno a hug from me. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
