$800.00 for My Cats Operation today!

Im sorry to hear about your cat. Sometimes surgury for pets can be just as much as surgury for people. But if it benefits your cats vision, and he or she will make a full recovery, than the money is well worth it. Best of luck to you.

Jee Jenny, ohhhh, and I am so sorry for your poor kitty :/ And $800 is really a lot of money and I hope you could pay it? If not, maybe us, kitty lovers could spare each of us a few bucks and make it over to your paypal account? Wish you well and bless the kitty from me please TheFortunes

That is a lot, but for specialist that isn't bad. My Aunts dachshund got something in his eye and was sent to a specialist. Just for the visit it was $200. By the time they removed the object (it was a very small piece of branch) without surgery, eye drops and 1 additional visit she had spent $2,000 (this doesn't include missed time from work or the gas money). We are going to get one of the pet credit cards where you can charge your visits and get at least 90 days same as cash just in case we get into a situation where we have to gt major care done and don't have the spare cash.

Gosh, I had no idea that an operation could cost that much money. But it´s well worth it. It must have been sad for you to see your cat go through so much pain. I hope the operation goes well and your lovely animal won´t suffer too much during recovery. Dana

Wow, that is a whopper of a bill to have to pay. Many people don't realize how much it costs to maintain a pet. Those that run out and get a pet need to sit down and calculate the monthly and long-term costs before they take that leap.

WOW !!!! ..The price must have a massive shock.... I know that if I had to do it, I would...Although it would take a massive chunk out of the savings...My pets are like family and would be treated if they needed it..At least she will have a full recovery, thats great news..

That's a big amount... I hope your cat will be okay after the operation. I'm a cat lover... and everytime that I see a cat that is suffering, I also feel sad...

YIKES! That's a lot of cash. So are you going to have this done or not then? Here in the States they sell health insurance for pets. I can't afford it and I don't think I could afford $800 for an operation for my Buster even though I love him dearly. Sometimes these things depress me thinking about not being able to afford a surgery for my Buster. Oh well. Take care. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

That is a lot of money, but worth it for your pet. I would spend the money on my dog if I had to. I just took her in because she was vomiting, and having a hard time walking. The vet examined her, and couldn't say exactly what was wrong with her, but figured she got into something, or had some kind of flu. She got two medications and an injection. The whole trip cost 95 dollars. She's back to normal now. If I ever get another puppy, I'm thinking about getting pet insurance.

I certainly can feel for you and your pet. When my dog was just 7 months old she broke both her front legs. After all was said and done it ended up costing me over $1200. However, to look at her now (5 years later) you'd never know. Sometimes it's just worth it!

Wow. Well you can think of it this way, she gives you lots of joy, right? Then she's well worth it. Although I do have to say, the doctors now a days charge more than they used to and are making money off of us poor people. That's ok, their time will come. Maybe not here on earth but it will come. In the meantime, lots of love for your baby girl. She's worth it. Bless you!

I don't know what you'll do Jenny but I wish you and your beloved cat the best. I can almost feel the agony from here. Hopefully this will turn out for the best.

Hi jennybianca, I feel very sorry to hear about your cat. Those amount of money sounds very expensive too me, but if what can you do if the Animal Specialist really cost a lot nowadays. But lets hope your kitty cat will get better after that operation.

I know vet bill are crazy expensive. I feel for you. I hope your cat is going to be ok. I think I would do just about anything for my dog I just hope I will never have face such issues. Good luck!

Ouch, that is quite a lot to spend on a pet. I know she is part of the family. I guess that will give your daughter someone to practice her pet care giving skills on when the cat comes home.

How are you going to afford that?

What country do you live in? Here in Canada when my spouse and I had to take one of our cats to the vet, we overheard a lady state that she's lucky to spend less than 1000CAD every time she visits the vet. We almost had to pay around 700 ourselves but because we were literally broke, we had an alternate method done for 200. This alternate method worked and our cat was better within a few days. To think that the vet could've had us with 500 extra debt with them. Either way we were willing to spend whatever amount to get our cat better. We're just glad the vet didn't rob us completely blind.

Jenny, Oh gosh. This is my first posting ever, and your's the first posting I have read too. Poor kitty. It must be so uncomfortable and painful as well. I hope that the surgery will take place right away an dheal quickly. You will be repaid with love and dear company for many years to come. Your kitty can be just like a real family member. My kitty is a part of my life, and those who have passed away have been such difficult times for me, and remembered always. I wish animal insurance/medical charges could be so much less. I know it isn't easy on the wallet, but I'd do anything for my kitties. Good luck!
