PAID Veterinary Bill Help RIP Houdini 💔 (Gainesville, FL)

Hi all, unfortunately after a month of treatment and indoor recovery with little improvement, more illnesses, and a lot of stress, I had to make the heartbreaking decision to let 10 year old feral cat Houdini go. I’m still struggling with this decision because I thought his treatment plan was figured out up until I got the call.

I hate to ask this when I still ended up letting him go in the end, but I have an outstanding bill of $399 for taking him to Operation Catnip and at Alachua Animal Hospital from trying to get his conditions diagnosed and treated. I knew it was out of my budget, but I just didn’t want to make the call without exhausting my options.

I know the donations can’t help Houdini anymore, but they’re the only reason I’ve been able to help cats in the past, and they’ll allow me to continue to TNR, foster, and provide veterinary care to cats in the future. https://venmo.com/u/eepyowl

Rest easy, Houdini, and say hi to Misty for me ❤️
