Save Sunny: Elijah can't afford the emergency vet

A senior cat named Sunny needs a hospital stay and surgery - a $2,000 bill the family can't cover.

Sunny is my senior cat of eleven years. On 19 July we rushed to the Gold Coast Emergency Vet Clinic with severe tick fever. The vet recommends a hospital stay and surgery, and the estimate came to $2,000. They have stabilized Sunny, but the treatment can't wait beyond November. Sunny is more than a pet - Sunny is a retired therapy animal who has comforted dozens of patients. I have already put $260 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 the Gold Coast Emergency Vet Clinic and I'll share the invoice and an update on Sunny's recovery. Where the $2,000 goes: • Emergency surgery: $1,250 • Medication and follow-up visits: $115 • Hospitalization (4 nights): $635 I hope life is good to you. - Elijah
