Sorry. Once I had my kitty “fixed” and after getting her home she started internal bleeding and screaming. The people who did that to her said “Yeah it happens, there’s always risks. We can TRY to save her but it’s non-refundable $2.7k paid in full right now or she’ll for sure die. Your call.” At the time I only had 3k to my name and no job. I paid the money b/c I’m Stella fucking Stillwell and we both landed on our feet. I’m currently broke and if I helped it’d be with money that’s not mine to give, but I want you to know I have tons of respect for you speaking up, asking for help, sticking up for Bug, for family. ❤️ If anyone can help do it, it’ll come back to you.

Send me the gofundme link and I will share it with my animal loving friends and do what I can. I am on SSDI and can't contribute much but I will do what I can. I adopted an abused iguana about 10 years ago and she lived 6 years in my care. I understand your compassion and I did the same thing to get her a surgery that she needed. Bless your compassion.

Trying to decide the best course of action. Waiting to hear back from the hospital now.

I am so sorry to hear about Bug's medical issues. I don't think people will get weird with you telling the situation and seeing if they can help

Vet stuff is ridiculous expensive. I think my CT for metastatic cancer are less than that.

I am sorry I cannot contribute financially. Keep us informed. I remember when she arrived and all you did for her.

Hang in there.

Thank you Celia. Yeah it’s crazy how expensive it is. I knew it wouldn’t be cheap but the sticker shock was intense. A lot to process.
