Bernadette has a Fractured Pelvis :(
Help Bernie heal from an accident 🙏
Wellington
You may have met my tiny ultra friendly 3-legged tortoiseshell cat Bernadette around the hood.
She was badly injured this morning and we're not sure what happened.
Potentially hit and run?
Surgery would cost about $3-5k apparently so we're just keeping her at the vet while her fracture sets in place, and hope it heals okay, but she will probably need laxatives for the rest of her life due to the fractured pelvis being narrowed. That will still cost about $1k.
She's already lost a leg as a kitten, so she's a fighter, but poor wee thing has been through a lot.
If anyone saw anything, please let me know.
I've been struggling to find an internship since I finished my masters and don't have much money as a result. If anyone would be willing to help with the fees, that would be greatly appreciated! Any bit helps!
Use of funds
Money will be spent on Bernie vet fees and medical supplies in the future.
Latest update
Offering you a refund of your donation to Bernadette has a Fractured Pelvis :( 12 May 2021
We are getting in touch to let you know that the final vet cost for Bernadette was $675. This leaves approximately $2,000 of donations remaining after the vet bill has been paid.
Unfortunately the surgery is not going ahead because not enough was raised and it requires payment up front (no payment plans available).
The excess donations (2k) will be used for any ongoing vet bills, medical care, special dietary needs, and care while she heals and beyond.
If you would like a refund of your donation, please get in touch with Givealittle at helpdesk@givealittle.co.nz by 5pm Tuesday 18th May 2021.
