$1480.00!!! Ally Fundraiser Money update MARCH 1st

[jennielynn1970]

I'm waiting to hear from Julie. It's really hard for her to get internet access in Nigeria... Plus add to that the fact that she is relying on someone else in Bahrain to make the arrangements.

I have a check or two at home I have to add on to the funding, I've just been super busy this week with a new foster cat. I really haven't had time to sit down and relax. I'll update more tonight when I get home from work.

Since I was asked by a donor, I'll put this question out here....

If we have leftover funds, whatever is left after paying Ally's trip ticket, would anyone mind if we use the balance toward Kt Luvs Kitties?? If you'd have a problem with that, let me know. I figured I'd just go backwards in the donations and if there were any left over, send them back to the people who gave the newest donations.

Thoughts??

That sounds like a great idea!! I've also donated vet funds to KT (well, I'm in the process). But I am all for that idea!!

My first thought is that you don't know how Ally is going to fare in this adventure - and you might need to take her to the vets.

If there is leftover money - I feel you should keep it and have it help you with her food, and vet care.

[Catty1]

Gini - you are so right! I hadn't thought of this. I am the donor the Jenn referred to...and I just wanted Katie to get some help too.

I guess once we get the final flight rate- and it is paid for - then we can see how much is left and what the other costs are.

Yes, Ally would need a checkup, for sure....and lots of the best treats to settle her in!

[Taz_Zoee]

OH, good point gini and Catty1. I'm okay with however the money is dealt with. I am sure it will be put to good use no matter what.

[Donnaj4962]

I agree that you should keep any excess money for sweet little Ally and her care! You are so kind to help out in this way.... and you deserve a break also in the finances.

Thanks for the update on Ally's flight and what is happening. I was thinking that it was just the prblem with the internet, but I thought I would ask! Please keep us posted. I know that everyone is anxious for her to get here!

Well, I hope that Ally is like Connor. I kept him in a spare room for a day (for jet lag ) but after that he wanted out to explore the house. He has now become part of the furry paw gang (he even sleeps on the bed with the rest of them).

[Daisy and Delilah]

I think I was one of the last ones in. Whatever you kitty cat experts decide to do is fine with me. If nobody has told you ladies lately.......you're all awesome in saving all these kitties!! I hope you're all giving yourselves regular pats on the back for all the good you do

[Taz_Zoee]

Is there any new news on when Ally will make her trip?

[Scooter's Mom]

Any word on when Ally becomes a world traveler?

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

YAY - my internet is actually working for a change!

Just got off the phone with Ann - who is looking after the arrangements in Bahrain. She took Ally to the vet there yesterday, and had the vaccination card "certified" so now she needs to get an appointment with the government vet to arrange for the export permit. (This has to be done quite soon before the flight as it is only valid for 7 days). Sorry that everything is taking much longer than it should - Ann was without a car for a while, and works shifts (she is a nurse) so she can only do the running around on her days off.

I'll update everyone once I have heard back re the export permit!

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed to this. I can't find the words to thank you!

(((HUGS)))

And my vote for the excess funds is for you to keep them to offset vet expenses and food. You did such a great deed.

[Scooter's Mom]

Oh yeah... the "extra" funds. I vote you keep them, too.
