Help Tian save Poppy - surgery needed

A cat named Poppy needs emergency surgery - a $1,150 bill the family can't cover.

Poppy is my cat of three years. On 13 September we rushed to Vancouver Veterinary Centre with pyometra. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $1,150. They have stabilized Poppy, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Poppy is more than a pet - Poppy got me through my hardest year. I have already put $270 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 Vancouver Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,150 goes: • Emergency surgery: $710 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $185 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $255 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Tian

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tian.

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. emergency surgery comes first ($710) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.

  • Stay strong, Tian. Hope this works out for you. I hope November is when things finally get easier

    • Take care, Tian. Give Poppy a hug from me. We're a small family in El Paso but we're thinking of you. All the best.

      • is there anything that isn't money that would help Tian?

          Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

          • So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!
