Our cat's medical bills

I wasn't expecting the subject of my first post here to be about my cat Anu;
but, if this is the impetus to get me to writing more publicly then I'll use
that as my motivation.

Early last week our cat, Anu, had to be taken in to the emergency care clinic
for surgery to save her life. We had noticed a slight loss of appetite and a
bit of lethargy. My partner got home from work around 7 o'clock on Monday and
noticed some pus/discharge. I had seen her a couple hours before and she had
seemed fine. We remained at the clinic until around four in the morning after
Anu had come out of surgery and we were given a positive prognosis. Much of the
detail of the night is pretty emotional and jumbled, for me, since everything
happened so quickly.

One of the decisions we had to make was having to sign and agree to payment
before most Anu's medical care could proceed. We wouldn't have made a different
decision; but, having to do that in the midst of an already highly emotional
event was frustrating to say the least. We are now looking at a medical bill
of around nine thousand dollars that we really cannot afford. This is the
reason for my posting today. We could really use some financial assistance to
help us get by.

It's been a week since Anu came home. She seems to be recovering well.
We've completed her course of antibiotics and kitty sedatives. She's not eating
as much as I like; but, I think much of that may be due to her cone-of-shame
somewhat hindering her mobility. We've got a follow up appointment with her
regular veterinarian tomorrow.

So I am asking anyone reading to consider helping us out financially to pay down
this bill. Any amount will help and will be deeply appreciated.

I was intending for my posts here to focus more on my technical, open source
contributions and work. Hopefully, with your help, I can start to do that in
the future.

Thanks for reading this. I appreciate it.
