Help Polina save Daisy - surgery needed
Daisy, Polina's cat, needs urgent treatment for a foreign object blocking the intestines costing $900.
🇷🇺 Moscow, Russia1,589 views
Daisy is my cat of thirteen years. On 25 July we rushed to Moscow Animal Hospital with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $900.
They have stabilized Daisy, but the treatment can't wait beyond September.
Daisy is more than a pet - Daisy is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $55 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 Moscow Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $900 goes:
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $115
• Hospitalization (2 nights): $240
• Emergency surgery: $545
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Polina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Campinas.
Sending love. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Polina?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork), advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
so sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
How is Polina doing now?
Thinking of you and your family, Polina. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Take care, Polina. Poor Daisy, hope they feel better soon. Thinking of Moscow.
Keep going, Polina. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Polina.
It's all in the list in the story. diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork) is the big one at $115, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
keep going, Polina. Hope you get there. Love from San Sebastián.
You're not alone. Poor Daisy, hope they feel better soon. Greetings from Paris.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Moscow
Wishing you the best, Polina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Polina. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Polina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 22 people at work. All the best.
Sending strength. Give Daisy a hug from me. Put this on a community board in Leicester this morning. Take care.
Sending love, Polina. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Iloilo City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from São Paulo.
Hope it all works out, Polina. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending good thoughts, Polina. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Please keep us posted. Love from Cali.
