    Iʼve raised £169 to pay Fonzie's vet bill

    Nantwich, United Kingdom
    Funded on Friday, 4th November 2016

    Story

    On 3rd October 2016, Fonzie was put to sleep following antifreeze poisoning. He ingested the antifreeze on Friday 30th September and the vets tried their best over the weekend to save him but unfortunately he was too unwell. He was 5 and a half years old and I’d had him from a kitten so am obviously devastated at his loss. My other cat, Bandit is greatly missing his friend too.

    Whilst antifreeze poisoning can be accidental, there is also a chance that this was a deliberate act of cruelty on the sweetest cat you could ask to meet which absolutely breaks my heart.

    I am a great believer in taking responsibility for your own animals and I take care of my animals to the highest standard possible to try and reduce the likelihood of vet bills. If my animals need something then I will go without. Unfortunately, the bill for trying to save Fonz over the weekend totals £611.64 and has come at a really bad time which has required me to swallow my pride to ask for help by setting up this page.

    I will do all I can to fund this bill myself from selling things and working overtime to going short myself but if you can help in any small way, I would be extremely grateful.

      I would like to say a massive thank you to all those who have donated and/or bought things from me to help fund this bill. Also many thanks to those who have shared it. With the money raised from items sold combined with the donations received, a large portion of the bill has been paid and the funds are nearly there to pay the remainder. I would therefore like to ask you all to help me with one final push please. All donations are greatly appreciated and please take a look at my items for sale on facebook. Thanks again and love to you all xx

      Thank you again to all those who have kindly donated. I have phoned today to pay some towards the bill to find that the vets have very kindly reduced the bill from £611.64 to £491.64 - to say I am grateful is an understatement (I have updated this page accordingly). The vets in question (Hillside @ Nantwich) have looked after all our small animals for as long as I can remember and I really cannot fault them. Their levels of care and expertise are exemplary and I would highly recommend them. I can't thank them enough xx

      I would like to say a massive thank you to those who have either donated or shared this appeal so far - words cannot express how very grateful I am for the support. Please do keep sharing; even if people are unable to donate, the more people who are made aware of the dangers of antifreeze may just save one little furry life. Thanks again and lots of love xx

      Sorry for your loss.... We have an indoor cat because we couldn't cope with the worry of something like this happening.
