Coco is my senior cat of nine years. On 4 September we rushed to the Geelong Emergency Vet Clinic with severe tick fever. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $2,300. They have stabilized Coco, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Coco is more than a pet - Coco got me through my hardest year. I have already put $290 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 the Geelong Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,300 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,150 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $500 • Medication and follow-up visits: $320 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $330 I hope life is good to you.

  • hope things get better soon, Travis. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

    • Sending good thoughts. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

        Hang in there, Travis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        • Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!

          • Wishing you the best, Travis. Hope this works out for you. Take care.

            • Thinking of you, Travis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Lagos.

              • Stay strong, Travis. Give Coco a hug from me

                • hang in there, Travis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
