Ginger is my cat of thirteen years. On 16 March we rushed to Bronx Veterinary Centre with a foreign object blocking the intestines. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,600. They have stabilized Ginger, but the treatment can't wait beyond July. Ginger is more than a pet - Ginger is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $135 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 Bronx Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $1,600 goes: • Hospitalization (3 nights): $470 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $270 • Emergency surgery: $860 I hope life is good to you. - Craig
