Update: After visiting another vet today, the total for fixing Ji’s leg will be $5632-$6584.

2025 has been a hard year so far for me and my family of fur babies. My name is Parish, and I am a full-time law student in Las Vegas. I currently work as a research assistant for the law library to help pay for my living expenses.

In April, my older cat, Pheobe, was diagnosed with FIP. Her treatment cost around $2,000. Thankfully, Pheobe has since made a full recovery.

Today, my second cat, Jiji, broke her right leg. I have already spent $600 on x-rays and the initial exam. Orthopedic surgery is now required to set the fracture and install pins to hold the bone in place. I have not received an estimate for how much this procedure will cost.

My fur babies, Pheobe and Jiji, and I would appreciate any help at all These two cats are my world, but the last few months have been really trying, both mentally and financially. I am struggling to pay my bills at this point in time, and I am scared about how treating the broken leg will set me back even more. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it ♥️
