Save Buddy: Thabo can't afford the emergency vet

Buddy is my tabby kitten of two years. On 5 March we rushed to Pietermaritzburg Veterinary Centre with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $200. They have stabilized Buddy, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Buddy is more than a pet - Buddy walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. 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. If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to Pietermaritzburg Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $200 goes: • Hospitalization (4 nights): $85 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $80 • Medication and follow-up visits: $35 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
