Pepper's a ruptured cruciate ligament: help with the vet bill

Pepper is my senior cat of eleven years. On 12 September we rushed to Hubballi Animal Hospital with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $150. They have stabilized Pepper, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Pepper is more than a pet - Pepper is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $30 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 Hubballi Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $150 goes: • Emergency surgery: $90 • Medication and follow-up visits: $20 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $40 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
