Heathcliff's medical bills

My name is Heathcliff. I'm a four year old Tuxedo cat who loves tuna fish, chasing lasers, and snuggling with my owner Rita, but the past few days I haven't felt very good.

I can't eat right now, and nothing comes out the other end. Rita took me to the vet, and they said I have a bowel obstruction that requires immediate attention.


The bill for the surgery is $6495.66, and Rita cannot afford to pay for all of this by herself.


Please, if you can offer any assistance, it would mean the world for both of us. I want to stay alive and keep her happy for many years to come.


Update: We moved ahead with the surgery, placing it on a credit card.  The final bill is $5,132.41.
