Willow is my cat of eleven years. On 22 September we rushed to Kyiv Veterinary Centre with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $500. They have stabilized Willow, but the treatment can't wait beyond October. Willow is more than a pet - Willow is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $65 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 Kyiv Veterinary Centre's charity fund for other animals. Where the $500 goes: • Emergency surgery: $260 • Hospitalization (2 nights): $130 • Medication and follow-up visits: $35 • Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $75 Glad we found this place.
