Help Skylar save Oscar - surgery needed

A senior cat named Oscar needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $1,550 bill the family can't cover.

Oscar is my senior cat of eleven years. On 9 May we rushed to Mississauga Veterinary Centre with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,550. They have stabilized Oscar, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Oscar is more than a pet - Oscar walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. 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 Mississauga Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,550 goes: • Emergency surgery: $910 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $310 • Medication and follow-up visits: $110 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $220 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Skylar
