Help Vandana save Poppy - surgery needed

Poppy is my tabby kitten of nine years. On 14 September we rushed to Nashik Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $300. They have stabilized Poppy, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Poppy is more than a pet - Poppy is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. 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 Nashik Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $300 goes: • Emergency surgery: $135 • Hospitalization (3 nights): $70 • Medication and follow-up visits: $35 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $60 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
