Bruno is my tabby kitten of thirteen years. On 12 August we rushed to the Munich Emergency Vet Clinic with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $2,300. They have stabilized Bruno, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Bruno is more than a pet - Bruno is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $165 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 Munich Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Bruno's recovery. Where the $2,300 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,600 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $450 • Medication and follow-up visits: $120 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $130 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Silke

  1. We're at 7% thanks to 4 of you. the plan for hospitalization is now scheduled. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($60 in total) I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Emergency surgery is $1,600 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.

  • Rooting for you, Silke. Give Bruno a hug from me.

    • how is Silke doing now?

      • Rooting for you. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.

        • hope it all works out, Silke. This could happen to any of us. All the best.

                • Thanks for sharing this, Silke. This could happen to any of us. After 12 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
