Pepper is my tabby kitten of six years. On 22 August we rushed to the Maringá Emergency Vet Clinic with kidney failure. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $800. They have stabilized Pepper, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Pepper is more than a pet - Pepper got me through my hardest year. I have already put $50 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 the Maringá Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Pepper's recovery. Where the $800 goes: • Emergency surgery: $570 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $90 • Medication and follow-up visits: $80 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Flávio
