I can be the main contact for now. However, it might be nice to have someone near the area as a backup.
Thanks.

Dear Dr. Robinson and Colleagues:
My name is Candace Carnie. I post on a forum called petoftheday.com with the username Catty1.
A young gal there is on very limited funds, and needs a spay for her cat Giz to help some behaviour problems (and prevent other difficulties!), as well as shots and a checkup. She has financial support from a friend to pay for the spay, but needs some more to cover shots, etc.
Is there a way that those who wish can send money directly to your clinic, and put it towards the credit of this person and her cat? I noted on the internet that you have Wellness Plans, and I know a number of us on Pet Talk would love to help her out.
If your answer is in the affirmative, then I will ask her (first name is Bri, short for Brianna I guess) to set things up with your clinic, and we can set things up from there.
Also need to know what payment types you take. If you take credit cards, does the clinic have a PayPal account?
Thank you very much for your time and attention.
Thank you! :D I hope they respond quickly. I know Dr. Robinson. He has another vet clinic near my house (the same clinic I volunteered at)
Call him and bug him! :D JK
LOL, I don't know him personally.. I know who he is, but I don't remember ever meeting him. And besides, the clinic was mean to me and they made me quit volunteering.. AND their prices are outrageous. That's why we stopped taking Roxy there.Quote:

Hey, Bri - you were talking about getting a bird if your mom stopped smoking? Let's get the present zoo all caught up - birds can be expensive too! :) When I was a teenager, my dad had lots of cockatiels - but first we had a single one, named Casey. He was a saucy little guy! lol But I didn't have to clean his cage or buy the food.
Will keep you posted, Bri!
:) My error of the delay to reply for Catty1.. I have been just swamped at work all week.. I will try to get the answer need this weekend.. I was thinking of going to my Pets Mart & to the Banfield Vet clinic so I can talk to them personaly..Quote:

LVPETS2002 - well, I was close! (NOT) :D
I didn't realize there was a Banfield even closer to you. I think the Johnson City one is closer to Bri.
And Bri - should it happen that maybe Giz still needs a new home, I would think this vet hospital would find someone wonderful. But let's see how it goes.
Thanks LVPETS! :)
How's Lvpets gonna help me when she's in TX? :p Anyways, yeah thanks. I dunno if we'll be able to keep her anyways or not. We may have to move soon, and I don't think many people will rent to a 2 dog, 2 cat home.. :/
I am just getting caught up on this thread. I am willing to donate my usual $25 when the details are straightened out.
Is there anyone that can find foster care or somewhere for the cats to go when/if Bri and her family have to move?
Well, I am sure the people at the Banfield Animal Hospital would. I wish they would contact me - but I am kind of far away!
I hope the Banfield folks in TX can contact the ones in TN.
Is anyone else on PT from TN?????
Bri, another thought - if you are moving, and can't take the pets with you, sometimes surrendering them to the shelter means they will get their medical needs taken care of.
How sure are you about moving yet? If it's to another city totally, that would be a real challenge for this fundraising.
We'll see what turns up in TX.
Well, I don't know. It may be quite a while before we move, and we would be staying in this city. I don't want to leave my city.Quote:

I'm pretty sure Gizzie has at least a temporary home if we move, so I think it will be okay.
Make up your mind, Bri, so we know what to do.
Does she need a home, or spaying?
And what about your other animals.
Sorry if I sound harsh, I don't mean to - but this is turning into a very back-and-forth thing.
I mean - if you want to have surgery for Giz - how hard is it to call the Banfield vet and find out if they take donations?
I had to fax all the way from Canada, and I am happy to do that.
What I am asking is that you decide what is happening with Gizzy.
This 'maybe moving, maybe not' - we need a clear message to help you.
So - what help do you need?
Well, I really don't know! Just don't worry about us moving.. and I can't call the Banfield hospital, my mom doesn't want me to. As I already said, she doesn't seem to care what happens with this whole spaying thing and she doesn't believe anybody is going to help.Quote:

She doesn't know us, I know - and she might feel pretty overwhelmed.
Maybe show her the thread about Shy Guy Aguilar...or have her post here if she wants to check us out.
We'll wait and see what comes in from Texas.
Bri, what time zone is TN on? I should know, but don't! :)
Well, still she doesn't care, and she won't post here because she doesn't know how to use the computer. :pQuote:

OK - if I can call the Banfield there, now I know the time difference - ahead of me by two hours.
Thanks.
Bri - if everything works out, do you have a way to get Gizzy to the vet? Could a friend drive you or something? (I am hoping Roxy too, if things go well - but not getting hopes up too high just yet).
My mom would drive me to the vet if I had the money to pay for everything. Why would Roxy have to go to the vet, too? :confused: She's spayed already?Quote:

:) Catty1 read your PM from me that I just sent.. Ok I am waiting on a phone call today from the Dr. James Robinson.. He will have to preapprove us first.. Then we can donate under The Pet Angel Fund that he has.. Now he owns the Banfield Clinic there = but if we are approved we would have to use his other Vet Clinic {that he owns down the road from Banfield} for the The Pet Angel Fund to cover.. Now we would have to make donations into this fund under the Family & pets names.. Again we have to be approved first & I am waiting to the phone call today..
Thank you!
Bri - if he says yes, then I think you and your mom would have to put your 'real' names on the fund. Then those of us who want to donate could PM you for the information.
Or, maybe he would do what IMOM does - the donations are made by animal name.
For example, if your last name was Smith, donations would be for Gizzy Smith and Skye Smith. Know what I mean?
So we'll keep our fingers crossed.
We're closer.
And I hope your mom gets a chance to see that 'other people' DO help! :)
:) Yes his assistant stressed we must have a Parent's Full Name & Bri's & babies names.. Dr. Robinson will tell me more when he calls me.. They have me as a contact {here at my work & at home} so I would set the family/names up & with what upfront donation needed to open the account & then note the Thread & Bri of Vet Location & the contact info.. Bri can I get you to PM me with your mom's name & your's & all of your babies names.. Catty1 I am going to PM you again also..Quote:

((((HUGS))))) to you both for all you are doing to make this happen.
Michelle
Aww, I'm about to cry, you guys are too sweet!
So, you need my name, my mom's name, and the two kitties names?
;) No Problem Michelle.. You would do the same for all of us.. I do believe the Pet Angel Fund will work out real well.. Still waiting on the main man Dr. Robinson to call.. He will..Quote:

I have one tip on the low fee shots, Get Them From Trusted Places like Petsmart ofr Petco! I used to have a 2 year old cat and we went to go get low fee shots and it made her have a hearing and shedding problem.
I also got them from a not very well known vet.
Also, i live in northern Georgia, Below Tennesse. If you need me to contact someone in Tennessee tell me who to contact and i will do it. :)
lol, silly doctor :p. I've actually never met him myself..
Reggie, I'm pretty sure my Petsmart doesn't offer Low-cost shots. They have a Banfield, but that's who we're working on getting the shots and spay from right now ;).
And I have a little present for everyone who doesn't know my pets well. I thought you would at least like to know who you're helping :p. Okay, actually it was Michelle's idea.. XD
