Help Sophie save Ollie - surgery needed

Ollie, Sophie's senior cat, needs urgent treatment for a tumor on the spleen costing $1,750.

Ollie is my senior cat of six years. On 26 June we rushed to Utrecht Animal Hospital with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $1,750. They have stabilized Ollie, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Ollie is more than a pet - Ollie is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $220 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 Utrecht Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,750 goes: • Emergency surgery: $850 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $460 • Medication and follow-up visits: $330 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $110 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
