Help Rylee save Ollie - surgery needed
A cat named Ollie needs emergency surgery - a $2,950 bill the family can't cover.

Ollie is my cat of nine years. On 26 August we rushed to Austin Animal Hospital with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $2,950.
They have stabilized Ollie, but the treatment can't wait beyond December.
Ollie is more than a pet - Ollie is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $160 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 Austin Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $1,850
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $540
• Medication and follow-up visits: $140
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $420
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Rylee
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($275). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward diagnostics.

shared this with my family. Love from Dhaka.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Saket.
Take care, Rylee. Poor Ollie, hope they feel better soon. Love from Shinjuku
