Donations for Timmy

$1,259 of $1,050 goal
Given by 30 generous donors in 9 days

To help with the massive vet bills associated with Timmy's recent cancer diagnosis.

Canterbury

Hello everyone

Sadly today, my beautiful Timmy cat was diagnosed with cancer.

He has a large tumor on his tonsils, which has caused some distress and breathing difficulties for the past few months - and after much investigation the cause has now been confirmed. So far his vet bills have exceeded $1200.

To give him any chance of survival, he will be needing MRI scans and a specialist vet to try and remove the tumor. It's going to be a very delicate operation due to the location of the tumor. The cost for this is expected to surpass $3000, and he will be needing it as soon as practically possible.

Unfortunately, Timmy does not have pet insurance to cover this, so I have to find the funds somehow. I would be forever grateful for any assistance, big or small, to put towards this. Please share far and wide on my behalf.

You all will know how much my baby boy means to me, and I want to give him a fighting shot at overcoming this - the alternative is not something I can bring myself to accept.

Any surplus funds raised will be donated to Cat Rescue Christchurch, where I got Timmy from when he was a kitten.

Thank you so much and lots of love xox

Thank you...  21 September 2019

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for your very generous donations. I am deeply saddened to say that Timmy is no longer with us. It's been a tough time coming to terms with our loss. Your donations have been put toward his vet bills thus far, and I have also made a donation for $300 to Cat Rescue Christchurch in Timmy's memory. I will be forever grateful for your much needed support.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
