Help Nomsa save Archie - surgery needed
A senior cat named Archie needs orthopedic surgery - a $750 bill the family can't cover.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa1,088 views
Archie is my senior cat of thirteen years. On 6 July we rushed to the Johannesburg Emergency Vet Clinic with kidney failure. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $750.
They have stabilized Archie, but the treatment can't wait beyond August.
Archie is more than a pet - Archie walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. 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.
Funds will be paid straight to the Johannesburg Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Archie's recovery.
Where the $750 goes:
• Medication and follow-up visits: $45
• Emergency surgery: $550
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $155
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Nomsa
Good news. Because of your gifts ($65 in total) I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Nomsa
Update from Johannesburg: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $35 so far, I made the first payment toward medication and follow-up visits.
