Kurby Fund Donation Information

We finally made contact with the Dr. !!:D We will take Kurby in tomorrow morning at 7:00 for blood work etc. and surgery will be performed Thursday morning. They will gladly take donations! You can either call or send to:

Kurby Doyle Fund
Apollo Animal Hospital
10707 N. 51st Ave.
Glendale, AZ 85304
623-939-9445

Keep in mind Arizona is Mountain Standard Time, 2 hours earlier than East Coast, 1 hour later than West Coast. Their hours are 8:30 - 5:30.

Also, please leave enough information with the vet so we know how to contact you either through e-mail or snail-mail.

Again thank you all for your support here!

Be sure to tell them to hang on for snail mail!! If we send a little note saying this is for Kurby is that all they will need to make sure it goes toward his bill?
Did they ever give you any kind of probable total bill amount? I'm sorry if you already posted that and I missed it.

Be sure in your note to say it's for the Kurby Doyle Fund! Just in case there's another Kurby there!:) Of course we spell ours differently. Kurby got his name because he was always waiting at the curb for us to feed him!:D

They did not give us an estimate, but I can call tomorrow and get one. We had this surgery done to our cat Bailey a few years ago and it was in the neighborhood of $600 - $700. Kurby's will probably be higher since he has to have complete blood work done, including testing for FIV etc. I will update you all with the $$$ amount. Of course this will be an estimate and could change if there are complications (let's hope that's not the case)!

Thanks Lisa, I'll be making a phone call in the morning! :D

Thank ALL of you!!:)

I will call in my donation soon as they open, GALD you said something about the time differance!

GOOD LUCK beautiful Kurby! May your surgery go fast and uncomplicated and you have a speedy, uncomplicated recovery and soon be on your way to a wonderful life!

My sisters tiney poodle had this surgery and it was right about the price you quoted. Kiki came trough her surgery with no problems but will not use that leg anymore. How is Kurby adjusting to being inside and being messed with by humans?

Lisa, I get paid tomorrow and will be sending you a check.

We had this surgery on Bailey and you would never know it was done! We're hoping for the same outcome for Kurby. He's on his way to the vets right now! I believe Kurby will adjust to indoor life with some work. He hasn't complained much being locked in the spare bathroom. We actually took him out of the dog kennel and gave him roaming freedoms of the bath. He hisses when we walk in, but as soon as we set his food down he stops. We will update with photos and surgery results!

Donation has been made from the Sunny South for Kurby! They were SO nice to me on the phone and told me Kurby is there having his pre surgery blood work done. I told her we are praying for him.

It was QUICK and painless and only took a minute to do! Folks, lets get them donations in for this boy!!

Oh Lisa, this all sounds so very encouraging! Your donation check should reach you by the end of the week. Wish I could send more ... but hopefully this will help a little!;) Please keep us updated and yes, you know we would love pictures too!:D

The check is in the mail (Really!:D )

Wonderful to all! The vet said they had their first donation call! Said they have a separate billing and they're on top of it. They're all actually very excited to be doing all of this!:D Kurby was quite calm during transport. Go Kurby Go!

I just received this note from one of the park officials:

"Thank you for taking care of Kurby Durby! I will miss his furry face around the ranch, but hopefully he will take to the domestic life once he sees how cushy it is. I will keep you up on the daytime cat sightinings and any problems or new ones. Thanks again".
