Coco is my senior cat of six years. On 14 September we rushed to Johannesburg Animal Hospital with a tumor on the spleen. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $300. They have stabilized Coco, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Coco is more than a pet - Coco is the reason I get out of bed. 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. Funds will be paid straight to Johannesburg Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Coco's recovery. Where the $300 goes: • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $35 • Emergency surgery: $150 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $115 Thanks for reading all this. - Shireen

Updates from Shireen

  1. Quick update: $10 raised so far (3%). the plan for hospitalization is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Shireen

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($34 in total) the plan for hospitalization is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
