Save Archie: Maria can't afford the emergency vet

A senior cat named Archie needs emergency surgery - a $1,700 bill the family can't cover.

Archie is my senior cat of three years. On 2 July we rushed to Birmingham Veterinary Centre with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $1,700. They have stabilized Archie, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Archie is more than a pet - Archie got me through my hardest year. I have already put $105 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 Birmingham Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,700 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,400 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $150 • Medication and follow-up visits: $150 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Maria

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($415 in total) the plan for medication and follow-up visits is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

          wishing you peace, Maria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Hialeah donated after I showed her your page. God bless

            hang in there. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
