Donations Needed 😢 Bad news
My wife has been hospitalized. She has severe asthma and contracted rhinovirus, and her oxygen has been extremely low.
She is the backbone of everything we do so I am trying my best to help as much as possible. Which means a lot of driving around for fosters, a lot of extra phone conversations/emails, etc.
I'm also going to try and fundraise to help get this vet bill taken care of. We reached our goal for the matching fundraiser, so unfortunately we don't have a matching fundraiser going on right now, but hopefully I can still find some help/support with this vet bill.
Negan is doing much better so far! Troika is also doing better and healing! If anything changes with them, I will do my best to keep you all updated! ❤️
If you can help with our vet bill, please consider helping. ❤️

CHALLENGE....all we need is 25 people at $10 each and they get the $250 match. Let him & her know they and the "kittens" are being thought of. We can do it RC community ends Wed 3pm 10/16 (unless extended). any direct to vet donations count, just have them call john so it's added to the tally.

I helped with $40 to their vet. John is doing great things for so many cats, and now a family emergency, hopefully others on RC can help him save these🐈⬛🐈with a donation.

Doing good folks, somewhere like 40% to 50% there (some donated w/o posting amount and that's ok ) Remember, for every $1 a matching $1 will be added up to a $250 total which means $500 would be raised through your wonderful efforts. Kitties worth more to donate to than the president candidates.

What happened to your white cat?

u/furry_tail_lover Oct 16 '24
negan was attacked by a dog or something bigger, but is recovering (according to another post). part of the reason a donor offered to help match $250 for the work John and them do for Kittens in the mitten (BTW I am just trying to help, i am not associated with them)
