Save Rosie: Bennett can't afford the emergency vet
A senior cat named Rosie needs orthopedic surgery - a $1,950 bill the family can't cover.

Rosie is my senior cat of thirteen years. On 25 April we rushed to Rockford Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,950.
They have stabilized Rosie, but the treatment can't wait beyond August.
Rosie is more than a pet - Rosie is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $210 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 Rockford Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Rosie's recovery.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $890
• Hospitalization (4 nights): $610
• Medication and follow-up visits: $165
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $285
