Hi everyone. I'm Colette and Jasper is my cat.

First, thanks SO much for your avid interest in our plight. It means so much to us that there are people out there who care about animal life as much as we do. A really special thanks to Elle, too, whose thoughtfulness has meant a lot to me. THANKS ELLE!

I certainly understand your skepticism. It's an unusual thing for me to do and I would never have thought of asking strangers for donations if the vet bills weren't more than I could handle. I reasoned to myself, though, that whatever I would have to go through, it would be worth it to save the lives of both my cats (Jinx just had surgery too).

Jasper is currently recovering at Morningside Animal Clinic in Toronto, Canada. The tel number is 416-284-9205 and the address is 4560 Kingston Rd. I haven't discussed my web site with my vet so if you ask her if it's a hoax or not, I doubt she'll have an opinion but I'm sure that anyone at the clinic will give you an update on Jasper's condition. And as Elle explained, I had to pay for the surgery on a credit card; unfortunately, the vet isn't setup to accept donations.

Please visit http://www.colettetheriault.ca for details and pics. I went to visit him today and he's doing well. Also, feel free to write me at [email protected] if you have specific questions or want to discuss further.

Again, thank you just for thinking about Jasper.
