Not the Bengal kitten or like tempered orange tabby kitten I was after but ... that's what happens when you go shopping the Bargain Bin." It's quite obvious that poor Conan never measured up in your eyes. Lauren 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 Here they come .... excuses. Can't tell you anything about the kitten until ... well, you'll just have to wait. Trust me, we aren't waiting to hear about the kitten. Just for HIS sake, we all hope he is WELL. (read: HEALTHY) excuse this! Pam |

You might just find another cause to persue, never to be heard from again. You and I both know it's harder to place 3-4 year old cats than it is to place cute little kittens. |

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. My vet put him in the 3-5 yr range, based on dental wear, one missing tooth, and something else. |

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. 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.

Let's test your convictions. Again, I say, with all due respect, you should be out of the picture. I would not want you to be bothered with Conan. What if he got the new kitty sick? Then they'd BOTH be screwed. You are definitely the last person we'll send any money to. I'll send a nice amount to the shelter though, if that would work. Pam |

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. He just had a bad cold. He is a beautiful, friendly, feisty boy! |

Philip wrote: 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. Yes, and several other examples with happy endings were mentioned. I participated in one of those where we contributed money for a cat named Jack to be transported. At that time, we all just called the transport company with our credit cards which they had agreed to. But I know on rpca, they do stuff like this regularly and no one gets cheated. Ideally, I suppose it might be best if we could donate directly to the shelter but they wouldn't necessarily apply the $$ to Conan and, sorry, but how can you trust a municipal shelter to distribute the funds where you want them? Of course, all the kitties deserve to be helped but most of us contribute locally. Conan is a specific kitty we want to help. 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. Well, I don't see why it would be an issue to say who contributed if the person in charge wanted to do that...as long as last names were not mentioned.

I asked the lady if someone can pay the $50-60.00 with CC over phone. She told me she didn't see why not, but she wasn't sure. She transferred me back to the main looping answering machine. I tried 3 of the menu options and could not get an answer about CC over phone. Ideally of course the new parent would have the money with them when they pick Conan up. |

To date, nothing you have done collectively has altered the course of events that would have occurred with Conan had none of you gone on crusade. That's a fact, not a put-down. |

But necessity can make for strange bedfellows, eh? I would not want you to be bothered with Conan. What if he got the new kitty sick? A very valid concern all considered. Do you think the shelter would adopt out a cat carrying a contagious disease .... especially now? Then they'd BOTH be screwed. You are definitely the last person we'll send any money to. I'll send a nice amount to the shelter though, if that would work. Pam You failed my trust test. You would foot the bail money and then forget about him once I had him home again. You won't trust me but you expect me to trust you. |
