Shy Guy Aguilar, Kitty with diaphragmatic hernia

Update from iMOM today.

Wow, we've really made a lot of progress. A week ago Shy only had $175 in his fund and now he has $2050. The top of the mountain is in sight!!

Shea, good job on the bake sale and rebounding from losing your job (sorry about that ). I'm crossing my fingers that the vet office will schedule Shy's surgery based on what's already been raised and let you pay off the remainder in installments. But if not, we have $764 to go.....

I really hope they will do the surgery and allow us to raise the rest after. this poor kitty has been suffering for so long!

Using the PayPal link on the IMOM site worked for me!
I think that's probably the best way for anyone outside North America to send money to IMOM.

From Shea, Shy Guy's Mom:

Greetings again...I just got off of the phone with the vet center and they said they can get Shy in surgery as soon as thursday am may 10th. However they would need at least 60% of the high end of the estimate which they say will be $2300 minimum. Money has become incredibly tight after being laid off. I was already living check to check.

The vet office also stated that would need to have recieved the $2300 for surgery either before or at the time of drop off. I know you have your proceedures for that and I let them know I'd post giving you the info. If I'm not able to have the minimum they need. I need to let them know no later than Wednesday late afternoon, so they open that slot for another pet. At that point he would be able to be seen on Monday the 14th.

This is the short version of her post - she is pawning her TV, and recontacting some people thru her IM groups.

I think at last count there was $2,050.00. I have emailed Julie for an update on funding.

I will see if I can get a more recent update - Shy Guy is so close!

It also sounds like the vet is changing the rules... he signed an agreement about payment (not before or at drop off, but invoice IMOM and they send the check). If they change their mind and say they have to have it BY drop off or will give the spot to another animal, that would be really unfair of them!!

[Catty1]

IMOM had let Shea know that, and posted it on the forum. They also have a copy of a letter from the vet agreeing to their terms.
