Save Rosie: Irene can't afford the emergency vet

A cat named Rosie needs orthopedic surgery - a $650 bill the family can't cover.

Rosie is my cat of nine years. On 19 June we rushed to Ciudad de México Animal Hospital with bloat. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $650. They have stabilized Rosie, but the treatment can't wait beyond September. Rosie is more than a pet - Rosie got me through my hardest year. I have already put $35 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 Ciudad de México Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals. Where the $650 goes: • Medication and follow-up visits: $80 • Emergency surgery: $370 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $200 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Irene

  1. Update from Ciudad de México: I met with the vet clinic and confirmed the amounts. We're at 76% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 72% now ($466). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Small update. $351 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

    Best of luck, Irene. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you. Love from Pune.

      Hang in there, Irene. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Ciudad de México.

        Keep going, Irene. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
