George
Ginger is my cat of nine years. On 21 June we rushed to George Animal Hospital with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $550. They have stabilized Ginger, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Ginger is more than a pet - Ginger is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. 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. Funds will be paid straight to George Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Ginger's recovery. Where the $550 goes: • Emergency surgery: $320 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $90 • Medication and follow-up visits: $70 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $70 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • take care. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

      Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

      • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dumisani.

        • Good luck, Dumisani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Girona donated after I showed her your page.

          • we've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

            • Stay strong, Dumisani. Poor Ginger, hope they feel better soon. We're a small family in Denver but we're thinking of you!

                        • hope it all works out. Give Ginger a hug from me. Wish I lived closer to Pokhara so I could bring a meal. Thinking of George.
