Sending Sandman Down Under to Stay with Owner

Hey all, I've been offered an amazing chance to move to Australia and have some of my dreams I've been working towards for a couple years now come true! The only dark cloud right now is it has come sooner than planned. I have just enough saved up to get myself over there, but not my cat.

Look at dat face!


I've decided that if it's only money keeping me from keeping my cat that I wasn't going to give up without a fight! Sandman has always been called: The fat cat who already loves you. So I'm sure he can handle the 30 days in quarantine if I can just afford the fees and travel!!! So here is what I've done.

I've started a fundraiser project to try to raise money so I can take him with me here: https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/sending-sandman-down-under I know Christmas is a hard time and everyone's wallets are empty, but even a dollar can make an amazing difference. Your card is also only charged if I make my goal. If I don't you get to keep your money and I found a home that's willing to take him in if I don't make my goal. I just will likely never see my baby again.

Or if you can't donate but want to meet more of my kitty I've started a blog! It's for posts by me and "Sandman" to keep people posted on the fundraising and what he's up to if he gets to travel with me! http://sendingsandmandownunder.dreamwidth.org/ Feel free to come and stalk to blog just for fun if you'd like! My goal is to post at least once a day of photos and silly videos of him!

Thank you for your ear. I hate doing things like this, never did it before really, but I just can't give up my cat without a fight! Even if you just spread this message to others will also help!!! Thank you so much for all your time!!

Welcome to TCS We'd love to see pictures of Sandman in the Fur Pictures forum.

A reminder to TCS members. We allow one post asking for money. The post below applies to requests for any reason, not only vet bills.

From the Mod Team Regarding Pleas for money:


Cats are a huge responsibility. Anyone who thinks otherwise, should not have one in their life. They are dependent on us for everything from providing a place to eat, to also providing vet care.

Anyone who has cats knows that they can and do get ill. Your best defense is to plan for that to happen before it does, and store monies away in preparation.

If you read about a plight of an animal on the internet and your heart is drawn to help. Check out the story thoroughly. Google the vet's name or call Directory Assistance in the city and be sure this is a legitimate claim.

Do not blindly send money into a paypal account no matter how heart-wrenching the story. Instead reach out to the member and ask for the vet's name and phone number, and arrange to send the money there for the specific needs of the cat in question.

If that information cannot be provided- you have your answer. Report the post to a moderator so that it can be removed for not being on the level.
