Juno is my tabby kitten of six years. On 4 April we rushed to the Salem Emergency Vet Clinic with kidney failure. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,950. They have stabilized Juno, but the treatment can't wait beyond June. Juno is more than a pet - Juno walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $175 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 the Salem Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,950 goes: • Emergency surgery: $830 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $590 • Medication and follow-up visits: $330 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $200 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Ziad

  1. Quick update: $743 raised so far (38%). I made the first payment toward medication and follow-up visits. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $511 so far, I made the first payment toward emergency surgery.

  3. 16% there. the plan for hospitalization is now scheduled. Thank you.

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

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. emergency surgery comes first ($830) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Sending love, Ziad. Give Juno a hug from me. I hope June is when things finally get easier.

    • Hope things get better soon, Ziad. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.

      • how is Ziad doing now?

        • Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted

          • Sending strength, Ziad. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.

            • praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Salem.

              • Sending good thoughts. Poor Juno, hope they feel better soon. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
