Sweet Annie needs a favor

[jenluckenbach]

Well, Jenny and I have done most of our homework for Annie's move to England, with the help of Sasvermont's breeder friend. Looks like Annie is going to be one darned expensive little Kitty
Jenny wanted so hard to not ask for charity, but like most humans, everyone could use a little help once in a while.
We know that not everyone can help and there is no shame in that. But if you would be willing to contribute, please contact PayItForward or myself.
Thank you in advance.
P.S.
Moral support is needed too, so don't feel left out if you can't support monetarily.

Jen,
how much is it going to cost? Some people might want to know that....

Is Annie a special needs cat? Just curious as to why she's going overseas. I apologize that I haven't kept up with things lately. Life has been crazy and I've had less time to browse PT

Yep, looks about right. A girl I used to work with took her cats to Australia with her when she was going back home and they cost around £600 each. That was about seven year ago.

It's not cheap!

I already had priced it at £460 / $830 but I didn't know about a couple of extra stuff, until we spoke to the breeder.

I have 2 pledges already (plus my own )

Sweet Annie's adoption

The vet visit

I browsed through most of the messages on those threads. I do have one question. Doesn't the shelter (or rescue) who you're fostering her for cover some of those medical costs (like the worming, rabies, etc)? Or none at all? It would at least put the price down a little if they did.

Good luck in your trip, Annie!

[jenluckenbach]

They do ALL her necessary vetting, but if she were to stay here she would not be due for any of those things yet (she is up to date, it is the government that wants these things done) so it is not fair to ask them to foot the bill, is it?

[kitten645]

to the UK and it will be a bloody fortune....I'm going over in August and will gladly stop over and collect the baby if it will be cheaper. LMK.

Ahh, gotcha

Too bad no one's flying there - that would greatly reduce the shipping cost.

[jenluckenbach]

To be honest, cats (animals) going into England MUST arrive as cargo, so even if someone was flying with them it would not be a different procedure. And Annie can't leave until October or later due to the quarrentine.

[Sirrahsim]

yes, Moosmom,
I think that PIF's references are pretty clean If I'm not mistaken, I believe that she IS the adoptive mother, correct? I'm sure that she won't leave Jen hanging

... guess you saw that she was the Mom

*slinks away into corner of room, shaking head in embarassment*

After putting 2 and 2 together, a light went off in my head. DUH!!!That's why I deleted it immediately.

Sorry about that!

Congratulations PIF on your new addition!!
