A tabby kitten named Max needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $2,100 bill the family can't cover.

Max is my tabby kitten of six years. On 4 July we rushed to Halifax Animal Hospital with pyometra. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $2,100. They have stabilized Max, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Max is more than a pet - Max got me through my hardest year. I have already put $200 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 Halifax Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,100 goes: • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $270 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $770 • Emergency surgery: $1,060 I hope life is good to you. - Hadley

  • Looking forward to the next update. After 24 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

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

        Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork), advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.

    • so sorry you're going through this, Hadley. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      • any update on how things are going in Halifax?

        • Sending strength, Hadley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. God bless

          • poor Max, hope they feel better soon. Love from Mysuru.

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

              • Hadley LeonardOwnerAnswerAddress verifiedPhoto verified

                Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork) is $270 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.

            • So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

              • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Halifax.

                • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Kinondoni this morning. Greetings from Kinondoni.

                  • Keep going, Hadley. Poor Max, hope they feel better soon. Put this on a community board in Narayanganj this morning. God bless.

                    • You're not alone, Hadley. Shared this with my family. Blessings.

                      • Hope it all works out, Hadley. Your post was clear and honest. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best
