Makaha cat owner faced with $12,000 vet bill after his cat was shot at

As a writer for this news site, I came across an interesting article titled “Makaha cat owner faced with $12,000 vet bill after his cat was shot at.” This title immediately caught my attention and I delved further into the story to find out what had happened.

The article reports on a cat owner in Makaha, Hawaii, whose cat was shot at by an unknown assailant. The cat, named Tigger, managed to make it back home with a serious bullet wound. The owner, Michael Hook, rushed Tigger to the vet, where the cat underwent emergency surgery. The surgery was successful in saving Tigger’s life, but the vet bill came out to a staggering $12,000.

Hook is now faced with the difficult task of paying off the astronomical amount of money, and has set up a GoFundMe page in the hopes of raising enough funds to cover the bill. He also hopes that by sharing Tigger’s story, he will raise awareness about the dangers of gun violence and the impact it can have on pets and their owners.

This story is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of gun violence, even on innocent animals. It is also a reminder of the high cost of emergency veterinary care, which can leave pet owners in a difficult financial situation. As we continue to navigate the ongoing pandemic and its economic fallout, incidents like these serve as a sobering reminder of the importance of responsible gun ownership and the need for affordable healthcare for all, including our furry friends.
