Maple's bloat: help with the vet bill
A tabby kitten named Maple needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $1,500 bill the family can't cover.

Maple is my tabby kitten of thirteen years. On 12 April we rushed to Madrid Animal Hospital with bloat. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $1,500.
They have stabilized Maple, but the treatment can't wait beyond June.
Maple is more than a pet - Maple walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $230 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 Madrid Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Maple's recovery.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $85
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $420
• Emergency surgery: $995
Every share and every dollar helps.

Take care, Raúl. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Shubra donated after I showed her your page.
Keep going, Raúl. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Raúl?
we've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Taguig
good luck, Raúl. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Raúl. Give Maple a hug from me. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Lagos
