Max is my tabby kitten of six years. On 27 February we rushed to the Los Angeles Emergency Vet Clinic with bloat. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $2,600. They have stabilized Max, but the treatment can't wait beyond May. Max is more than a pet - Max walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $195 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 Los Angeles Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $2,600 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,450 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $610 • Medication and follow-up visits: $300 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $240 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • sending love. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best

    • Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

      • Sending strength, Natalia. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Aurangabad.

        • Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings

          • We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. Sent it to 16 people at work. Greetings from Jabalpur.
