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!
