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.

        • Rooting for you, Irene. Hope the recovery goes smoothly. Blessings.

          • take care, Irene. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
