Conan Cliff Notes

The Bargain Bin is just what an animal shelter is. As you all know, the
county shelter is a dumping ground. There is still a diamond in the rough
named Conan if you people can get your collective asses together and put him
in another home and keep him well like you have promised to do. Trying
isn't good enough. And you ought to be able to post the list of contributors
to the Conan Fund. But you won't, simply because only one of you can put
your money where your mouth is.

Gee, don't go all soft on us. A diamond in the rough, I doubt he's in
the rough. It's a little hard to get our collective asses together
right away when some of us are thousands of miles away. You created
the issue so I don't see why your barbs should be important to us.

And what's the big deal with the posting of contributors? Why is that
so important? I don't understand. And what's with only one of us can
put our money where our mouth is? I think plenty of people would be
willing to give and will give, if needed. I think the outpouring would
be significant. I certainly would and I wouldn't care if my name was
posted but I wouldn't be too thrilled having my full name posted on the
internet. What are you getting at, anyway?

It's quite obvious that poor Conan never measured up in your eyes.

The Bargain Bin is just what an animal shelter is. As you all know, the
county shelter is a dumping ground. There is still a diamond in the
rough
named Conan if you people can get your collective asses together and put
him
in another home and keep him well like you have promised to do. Trying
isn't good enough. And you ought to be able to post the list of
contributors
to the Conan Fund. But you won't, simply because only one of you can
put
your money where your mouth is.

There is no fund yet because there is no reason to SEND FUNDS yet. If
fate makes it so that Conan gets adopted this weekend, that will likely
be the end of the Conan saga for us. If not, we will clearly be staying
informed to the best of our ability as to his health and status, while
people continue trying to find a home for him where HE lives...L.A. *If*
that cant happen, we seem to already have TWO places to have him
transported to across the country. I think we have our collective asses
together quite well and are ready to act at any moment if need be. Hope
all is well with the kitten! (especially healthwise!!!) (!)

Pam
-now with a little extra added sarcasm for you...

Did you see that KellyH has someone who will go get him if we
need him to? So we also have your friend and her friend right
there in LA in case of an emergency. (I know you have not
asked your friend, but still ..)

The decision was made to see how this weekend goes, since the shelter said
there is a good chance he may get adopted. Funds will be taken up when
neccessary. What difference does it make if someone posts the list of
contributors or not? I will contribute something, when there is something
to contribute to.
If you really wanted to be helpful, YOU could go to the shelter and get him
out and foster him until we can find a home. So far, you are the only one
who lives in the area. I'm in MA, Mary's in NC, Candace in AZ, Phil,
midwest?, etc. Believe me, if I was anywhere near Orange County, I would be
at the shelter in a heartbeat.

OK, you know what? Go to hell.

Pam, you're terrific. And you're a gem for not pointing out to Philip
that this all happened because he was so eager to get rid of Conan, who
he thinks is just a defective product.

Here they come .... excuses.

Can't tell you anything about the kitten until ... well, you'll just have to
wait.

But you don't know. You haven't walked the aisles of OC shelter.

I created no issue. You took it upon yourselves to MAKE it an issue.

And what's the big deal with the posting of contributors? Why is that
so important? I don't understand.

Because there is MONEY and trust involved. An example has already been
recalled about a trusted person absconding with funds for just such a
rescue.

And what's with only one of us can
put our money where our mouth is? I think plenty of people would be
willing to give and will give, if needed. I think the outpouring
would be significant.

Recognition for humanitarianism goes a long way toward getting more
donations. Its like putting a few dollars seed money in the hat for others
to see that motivates more people to give. Also helps keep the accountant
honest.

Ok, send me the bail money. Let's test your convictions.

Yeah for losers like you who can't take care of your cat properly.
Someone like you who dumps their cat at the first sign of illness.

What are you doing for Conan? Oh yeah, I forgot, you're the asswipe
who dumped him there. I only pray that you get your just karma.

I don't trust you. I would send it to the shelter though.

I just got off the phone with the shelter
The adoption fees involved are $50 - $60.00 for Conan.

They are open tommarrow 10 - 5

Conan can leave right now if someone could go get him.

He is an owner surrendered 2 yr old, neutered male.
I never heard how hold he was.
