Igor's surgery

Donation protected
I am an Indian immigrant living in Australia for the past 6 years. I am a Type 1 Diabetic, a diabetes activist and a blogger. I run a blog for my website  www.alittlebitofsugar.com. Igor is a Russian blue cross, my companion and buddy while I am here, far from my family and friends. I am a casual waitress trying hard to make ends meet while struggling with Type 1 Diabetes. Igor started limping in October last year and seemed to be in a lot of pain, regardless of any physical injury. After a couple of vet visits and medications all in vain, the vet advised me to get a CT scan done costing me a whopping $750. Being a waitress, I do not enjoy the best of compensation in terms of salaries but still, I cut short my expenses and managed to save up $750 in a duration of three months for a CT scan earlier this week. The results came out and he was diagnosed to have both of his hip joints abnormally functioning,  causing him a lot of pain while walking. The vet has advised getting a Femoral Head Ostectomy done in another week or two as leaving it untreated will cause him Arthritis. No matter how hard I try, my medication expenses won’t let me gather enough funds to get it done while the time is ticking. I do not have time enough to delay it any further either. I have had him since he was an 8 weeks old kitten and now, he’s about 2 years old. Igor helped me look at the silver lining of my life at a time when I was going through depression dealing with my personal medical problems and being away from family and home. I never resort to gathering funds from anyone else for my needs, but this situation has left me with no other viable option at this point.

I’d request you to join hands and help me get the amount so I could help my cat the same way he helped me. I’ll be highly thankful.
