Tucker is my tabby kitten of nine years. On 10 July we rushed to Mekelle Animal Hospital with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $300.
They have stabilized Tucker, but the treatment can't wait beyond September.
Tucker is more than a pet - Tucker got me through my hardest year. I have already put $45 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
Funds will be paid straight to Mekelle Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Tucker's recovery.
Where the $300 goes:
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $35
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $35
• Emergency surgery: $230
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Dayton.
Sending strength, Wondimu. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Put this on a community board in Syracuse this morning. Greetings from Syracuse!
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Mekelle
keep going. Poor Tucker, hope they feel better soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Mekelle.

Poor Tucker, hope they feel better soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
