Vet Bills for Mino!

Hey there, Shannon from Mango Island here! I am a self-employed artist, craftsman, jack of many trades, and cat owner.

This fundraiser is mostly related to the cat owner aspect of my life, specifically my kitty named Tetromino (because all cats, are in fact, Tetris pieces)

This past weekend Mino was acting stranger than a cat normally does, so I booked him for a check up at our trusted vet first thing on Monday. Our doctor sprang right into action, suspecting he had quote “eaten something stupid”- very scientific!

We took some X-rays and it turned out to be true, Mino had eaten something stupid (again science lingo here, sorry). The next step was immediate and emergency surgery. We rushed our little guy over to the referral vet a town over and they got him in right away yesterday afternoon.

At 9pm, I got the call, his surgery went great and they expect a quick recovery with no complications since we caught it so early! He even got to come home today, a day later.

Of course this is the scariest part, after the procedure itself, the bill! My partner and I were prepared for a steep number but it took us by a bit more surprise than we expected. Because of taxes, the month of April is already the trickiest time of year for a self-employed artist like myself. To add insult to injury; my car decided to have a bad day too, right before picking up Mino! One of my tires went flat and is completely in need or replacement due to its condition.

We’re humbly asking that if you enjoy the kind of work I create at Mango Island, a small tip would go a long way for us right now. We know there are so many valuable causes in need at any give time, and we totally understand that this isn’t a high priority, we’re so happy Mino is already on the mend! Even a share would be immensely helpful if you’re unable to tip. Thank you so much for reading all this!
