Save Simba: Ariana can't afford the emergency vet

A tabby kitten named Simba needs an operation to remove the blockage - a $3,050 bill the family can't cover.

Simba is my tabby kitten of six years. On 3 July we rushed to Ottawa Veterinary Centre with bloat. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $3,050. They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond August. Simba is more than a pet - Simba is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $120 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 Ottawa Veterinary Centre and I'll share the invoice and an update on Simba's recovery. Where the $3,050 goes: • Emergency surgery: $2,050 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $380 • Medication and follow-up visits: $300 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $320 Glad we found this place. - Ariana

        Sending strength. We've got a rescue too so I know how much they mean. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
