Simba is my cat of three years. On 12 February we rushed to the Jakarta Emergency Vet Clinic with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The vet recommends an operation to remove the blockage, and the estimate came to $400. They have stabilized Simba, but the treatment can't wait beyond April. Simba is more than a pet - Simba walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $55 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 the Jakarta Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals. Where the $400 goes: โ€ข Emergency surgery: $270 โ€ข Hospitalization (3 nights): $100 โ€ข Medication and follow-up visits: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
