"Pet Angel Fund for Spaying Gizzy et al"

[kittycats_delight]

Honestly, the other thread was not out of hand. The only person who was yelling or screaming or swearing at people was the person the fund drive was for. I did not see anyone being abusive at all, only stating the truth as to what has been seen in the past, or their point of view on the matter, which ought to be able to be expressed as this is a message board. But again, that's just my opinon too. Regardless, I am glad the the cat will be spayed and get the care she needs. Good luck with your fund drive.

Well with all honesty I don't think the thread would have been closed if there wasn't a problem with it but that is no longer the issue. People are entitled to their opinions.

The main objective is to get Gizzie spayed. From what I know there have been enough funds sent already. I guess we will find out in the next week or so the exact amount they have. Then Gizzie can get spayed. Which was the main objective. She was the one that was in danger of getting tossed out on her cookies. This is what we want to prevent. If one of the others that Isabel provided us with is more suitable and cheaper then we will look into those for the others. I do thank you for your concern for the animals. Even though sometimes we all don't agree it doesn't mean we all can't get along.

Thanks again.

Well I hope she and the other pets get what they need. I know what its like to not be able to do simple things for your pets. Im trying to save up for mine right now too. (3 cats! eek) So I know how it is. My understanding is the daughter we are talking to correct? I guess its good to know that the child is trying to be more responsible at this time. I dont understand people sometimes. If you get an animal, esp a female kitty, you should know what will happen in time. (heat and or pregnancy)

Well, finally someone understands me. And I knew these things were going to happen, and we planned on getting everyone spayed, but things came up, and we had to use our money to save our house and pay bills. And we're still in debt, so that's why I asked for help.

Do the rest of you understand now, or am I still going to be called selfish? *sighs*

Hon, you're not being selfish, but also understand that you are going though the same things that many other families in the US and other countries go though (and many worse). I'm sure you don't think you're the only one in debt or having tons of bills to pay... believe me, we're ALL there. I donate where I can, but many times that goes on my home equity line of credit... so up goes my mortgage payment, but I try to help people out.

Understand where many of us are coming from??

Exactly. We cant hardly keep the lights on and the eviction notice away. Im saving by the dollar to get this done. I had money for Snow and things came up. I refuse to touch my cat money now, I have $40 saved. The only difference is I know its not the cats fault in any way shape or form. The other girls still have a couple months since they are going on 4 months. I am going to try my hardest to get Snow done this coming week. Remember when she ran away after I had been gone for a few days? Im scared she could have gotten pg again so it has to get done, NOW. I have no way to know either way.

Emily, sent you a PM.

Is Gizzie getting spayed going to immediatly stop the behavior that so annoyed your mother? Do either of you realize that when she gets home she's going to need MORE care for awhile? The intentions are more than honorable but the concerns are every bit as valid.

I have spoke with Bri extensively about this and she does know it will not immediately stop and that after surgery care will be needed. so they most definately know these things. And you are right your concerns are every bit as valid. Thank you for being concerned. This would not be pettalk without them.

thank you for answering my question-

what about if you used your allowance (i thought I read that you get one - if you don't then never mind) yes it is your mom's money but she is giving it to you as you see fit.
and You STILL CAN call them tomorrow with your questions and talk to Linda and maybe set up a payment plan, or tell them you don't want this or that etc.....
ETA

while I'm not advocating lying to your mom - but if it keeps her from yelling and screaming @ you - with the same results.........

I do get an allowance, but it's $10 monthly, so it's not really going to help much. And I may not even get one this month. And it's from my grandpa.

Okay.

Look at the end of the day Gina has gone out of her way to make an appointment so why all the drama? Your mum needs to stop being so ungrateful and realise a good thing when it happens.

The cat has an appointment so go if u wish and if not dont expect any more help because the ball is in your court now so u decide if u want to continue sounding ungrateful or actually get the ball rolling and get something done.

I'm under the understanding that it was requested to be closed??

No one wants to bash Bri, I think the whole thing is that most of us don't want to see people being taken advantage of when they are being generous to begin with. I know that I'm just disgusted that mom isn't doing anything here. Who is the adult in the situation?? It's sad that a 14yr old has to become the adult in the situation.

I'm not donating, but I did PM Bri and I have offered to send some supplies down to her. I'm not heartless you know. Gosh, I still have Ally here with me after all the hell she's put me through!

No one wants to see anyone getting taken advantage I am sure. And it is rather upsetting that mom doesn't want any part of the whole thing. But there are things no one knows anything about so cutting herself off maybe her answer to the issues. I do agree that Bri should no have to be the adult in this situation but all too many time the child takes on that role. I know..I have been there done that but that is a different story.

Bri did tell me you offered to send her some supplies and that is wonderful. I am pretty sure not I or anyone else her could think you are heartless considering all you do for the kitties you help and Ally. I imagine not many people would keep Ally or any other animal around after being attacked several times unpervoked.

Thank you for helping Jenn. It is very much appreciated.
