Save Ziggy: Lorenzo can't afford the emergency vet
Please help Lorenzo pay for Ziggy's emergency treatment at Houston Animal Hospital.
🇺🇸 Houston, Texas, United States2,006 views
Ziggy is my senior cat of two years. On 5 September we rushed to Houston Animal Hospital with severe tick fever. The vet recommends orthopedic surgery, and the estimate came to $1,450.
They have stabilized Ziggy, but the treatment can't wait beyond November.
Ziggy is more than a pet - Ziggy is the reason I get out of bed. I have already put $230 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 Houston Animal Hospital's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $170
• Emergency surgery: $1,100
• Medication and follow-up visits: $180
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck, Lorenzo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lorenzo.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork) comes first ($170) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
keep going, Lorenzo. Shared this with my family. All the best
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Houston.
