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.

Hi,
Just to clarify I am not asking anyone to send money blindly. This is a legitimate cause, I created a crowd raise account and set up a link. I reached out to this community as they were fellow cat lovers. I ask people to donate only if they can find it in their hearts to help. Please do not portray me to be something I am not, and please don't make me out to be ignorant when it comes to care for animals.

Please don't be offended.  You will notice that the same note from the Mod Team goes in every post asking for donations.  We do this because unfortunately, some people aren't that scrupulous and will try to take advantage of people who they think will be sympathetic.
