In Support of Sam the cat
UPDATE 09/24/2026
Sam's total bill for surgery was $5,500. Nationwide pet insurance has covered about $2400 of that so far. Her hind leg was amputated, but it is looking great! Her front leg has a cast/fixator on it. Unfortunately, her front leg does have some infection in it, and she is currently taking Amoxicillin and Pradofloxacin for it. Bills for bandage changes and cleaning are piling up fast, and we are already buried in debt from the surgery! Please, if anyone can help with these costs, it would be such a blessing. Her home vet is Alpine Animal Hospital in Chubbuck, Idaho. Her surgery was done at MedVet Northern Utah, in Sunset, Utah. If you would like to call and make donations to either MedVet or Alpine, just give them a call and they can put the donations directly on our account. The account is under Chantelle Heether, and the cell phone number is 208-547-7980. Phebe's cell is 208.251.9173. We are estimating about another $500-600 to get the pins removed from her leg in 8 weeks. Please give us a call if you have any questions or need documentation of any kind. Thank you
Just tell them the donation is for Sam the Cat, our phone number is 208-547-7980
