A cat named Nala needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $1,150 bill the family can't cover.

Nala is my cat of thirteen years. On 23 August we rushed to Edinburgh Animal Hospital with severe tick fever. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $1,150. They have stabilized Nala, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Nala is more than a pet - Nala got me through my hardest year. I have already put $155 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 Edinburgh Animal Hospital and I'll share the invoice and an update on Nala's recovery. Where the $1,150 goes: • Emergency surgery: $790 • Medication and follow-up visits: $90 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $270 I hope life is good to you.
