Mavvie just knew that she had to fight for Raila’s life. However, a significant obstacle awaits her if she decides to go down the path of having Raila receive TECA surgery–the medical costs.
The surgery itself would cost about $3,000. But Raila needs to go through CT scans before receiving the surgery, and the CT scan itself is $2,000. Mavvie was also informed that the CT scans are inevitable.
“I cannot afford this surgery or her follow-up visits on my own,” Mavvie explained. “Since January this year, her past vet visits have cost me around $4,000, including transportation and medication.”
So she humbly turned to the GoFundMe community for help. Mavvie has set a goal of $5,000. She has since raised $3,368, which was enough for Raila to undergo a significant part of her treatments.
As of May 4, Mavvie has made the latest update on Raila. She received her surgery on May 2, which was a huge success. Raila is already home with Mavvie, and her recovery will only take one-two week.
Even more exciting news for Mavvie is that Raila’s recovery is faster than her expectations. Shortly after the surgery, Raila was already active.
“She was meowing and already trying to jump on elevated surfaces I haven’t seen in years. She’s purring, cuddling, and just wants a lot of love,” Mavvie stated.
Raila still needs some aftercare after her surgery, and the duo will continue to need support. If you want to follow up with Raila’s post-operational treatments or to show some love to the fur baby, please visit Mavvie’s page here.
