3 Days Left to raise $91 Fatty to the Vets! *UPDATE* GOAL HAS BEEN MET!!!

Here is my other post please read if you haven't already.

http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=143998

I'm raising money to take Fatty a stray cat that has been losing weight over the past year and just recently lost a little more weight and needs to be taken to a vets.

I have raised $88 so far and I need another $91 to be able to take Fatty's to his appointment this Friday at 3 p.m. I will be leaving early in the morning on Friday if I have enough funds to drive 2 1/2 hours to my sister's place to get Fatty and take him to the vets. If we don't get enough funds his appointment will have to be canceled because as most of you already know my one cat Athena is having a Hernia operation at the end of this month and my extra money is going for her surgery.

So the goal for Fatty is to raise $91.

Please if you can help donate in anyway I'm accepting paypal donations at [email protected]

or you may call the vets and put it under my sister's name but please PM me before calling the vets so I can give you my sister's name and that way I'll know how much more I'll need to make this a success.

Thank you,
Melissa

My daughter mailed the card with the cash in it today. I get paid on Thursday and will send you $25.00 thru pay pal. Hopefully a couple of others can contribute enough to make up the rest.

Julie,

Thank you so much, I hope so, if I had more $$ it would be easier to just go and do but with Athena's surgery I just can't.


Hopefully today will be a lucky day.

With your donation of $25 I'll just need $66 left to go!

Well I was feeling hopeful.

I've contacted more rescues no $$.

Sad to say that if I can't raise the $66 I will have to cancel his appointment for this week.

:(

I hate to think he might have cancer and might not be with us too much longer.

I'm not sure what more I can do to try to get $66.

-Melissa

do you have to have the WHOLE amount for the appt?

Would they not take a hefty down payment?

Also - don't ask the rescues for money, unless you work for one of them. What you might ask them about is surrendering Fatty to them - and if they take him, then they use their money for him.

If they give their money away to outside sources, they won't have any for their own rescued animals.

Ask them to take him and his furry friend, and see what they say.

Catty,

No I don't have enough for the appt.

Right now I have enough to get him checked out and FIV combo tested.

It's $36 for an office visit, $38 FIV/FELV combo test, and $105 for a complete bloodwork (does not include the FIV/FELV combo test), so the total for just the vet visit is $179 right now I have $88 with $25 coming on Thursday brings my total needed left for the appointment to be

$66

I have asked Rescues and other organizations if they would at least be able to foster Fatty and Pretty Girl if there are no funds available but no one seems to have the room which I understand since I'm in the same boat.

Right now I could take him and just get him a check up but I'm afraid without doing bloodwork they won't be able to tell what's wrong with him.

I just called the vets to see if they would accept the money I have so far but still do the bloodwork and she said they can't.

Sorry.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll receive more funds....please remember you don't have to mail me or pay pal me money, the vets will accept your credit card #.

Melissa

I have a feeling the vet might get a very good idea as to what is wrong with Fatty without bloodwork - I know vets palpate the kidneys, and if Fatty's jaw is hurt, that will be kind of obvious.

Still...I guess they need the option of blood work, just in case.

Melissa - could the local Humane Society help out? Could the work be done through them?

How about your co-workers? Or go hit up the congressman near where you work. ;)

{{{{hugs}}}} I can't give more right now....I wish I could...:(

You have already helped out so much and I appreciate all your help and suggestions.

I'm still looking for a foster or permanent home for Fatty and Pretty Girl. I'd like to see them both get a home together by Christmas.

Thank you,

Melissa

Moe,

Yes I did get your PM and yesterday I received enough money for the vet appointment alone!

I'm hoping that vet pills are not expensive if that's what he needs.

Well work something out though with that.

I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SAID A PRAY OR DONATED MONEY to help Fatty and I will be leaving tomorrow morning to go take him to the vets!

Thank you all again so much,
Melissa
