Archie is my tabby kitten of two years. On 7 July we rushed to Chennai Animal Hospital with kidney failure. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $200. They have stabilized Archie, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Archie is more than a pet - Archie walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $40 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 Chennai Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $200 goes: • Emergency surgery: $105 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $50 • Medication and follow-up visits: $25 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $20 I hope life is good to you.

  • Thinking of you, Aravind. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Chennai.

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

      • Aravind N. PanickerOwnerAnswerID verified

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. emergency surgery is the biggest at $105.

    • Stay strong, Aravind. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Milan but we're thinking of you.

      • Wishing you peace, Aravind. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
