Extensive report on trip and medical expenses (Yuppie)
The promised financial report. Sorry that it is a little later than promised. We really needed to get our thoughts and feelings in order. I have indicated the prices in rubles and dollars. I am counting at the average rate of 85 rubles per dollar for the time of our trip.
Total bill of the clinic:
366,084 rubles.
Approximately $4,300
I have uploaded the documents to Google Drive. Please let me know if there are any problems with the link or files.
In fact, we paid a little more at the clinic (about $330), but either I'm so "attentive" or they forgot to write something down, but I won't write it down in the total bill. Perhaps they forgot to write down one of the blood transfusions on the first day.
Cremation 11,500 rubles (if necessary - receipts upon request)
About $135
Tickets (aso on Google Drive)
4,778 + 5,117 (roundtrip), total 9,895 rubles
About $116
Accommodation (if necessary - receipts upon request)
21,403 - 3,000 deposit (refunded), total 18,403 rubles
About $216
Taxi (if necessary - exact amount and receipts upon request)
About 17,000 rubles
About $200
Food approximately (for 2 people)
15,000 rubles
Approximately $170
Total basic expenses approximately $5,137
We couldn't have done it without all of you, thank you to everyone who sent donations and placed orders during this time.
We also went to a cat cafe for the last 5 days. This cat cafe is run by a cat shelter, so you could say that the money went to help cats. Although, of course, this is no longer a targeted expenditure. But if we had not gone there, we would still be howling in pain incessantly. It became easier surrounded by cats.
The price for two people at the cat cafe is 14 rubles per minute (840 rubles per hour, about $9.9). We also bought them cookies (they are included in the price of the visit, but we wanted to help a little). But I don’t count the cookies. The last two days we were given a discount, but we sat there for almost half a day each time. And that’s the only reason we feel a little better than expected. I even drew a little during these days for my animation project.
We spent a total of 17,240 rubles (about $200) at the cat cafe.
Yuppie will forever remain in our hearts, and no one will replace her. But the capacity of hearts allows us to accept someone else. We did not return from the trip alone...

A good way to honor a beloved pet is by rescuing another in their honor! Maybe Yuppie sent this one to you to ease your pain? What is the orange kitty's name?

Anna Molitoris, thank you so much!
I think it's a good decision too. They're not interchangeable anyway, but it's easier for us to survive this loss with someone furry. We also do not deserve constant pain, let there be a little joy.
His name is Sunny, and he really is sunny :) I'll tell you more about him here later.
