A very sick feral cat needs help. Fundraiser. Please keep kicked.
For the last two years, DUer and lounge regular Flaxbee has cared for Jesse the feral cat. Jesse is now very sick, and although she has a trap Flaxbee does not have any money to get Jesse to the vet.
I've opened a Wishadoo! account on Jesse's behalf. Please help if you can. Go here: http://www.wishadoo.org/wishlist/133/a-very-sick-feral-cat-needs-your-help/

.....for Jesse
much your help and support mean to me 
I'm spreading this Wishadoo link amongst my friends ... fingers crossed!
help.
And I miss him singing to my other kitties.
Thanks for kicking this, and for checking in... 
and reposted on FB too 
seriously 
Greatly appreciated.
and on October 20, 2012, a perfect amount
My husband had the flu really badly last week and our big ole' tuxedo (Ivan) was glued to his side, too. Jesse's a tough little scrapper and seeing him like this is just breaking my heart.
Amazingly, we're halfway there with some snail mail contributions from those who don't use paypal...
Hope you're feeling better today.
superficial-seeming, but heartfelt, I promise
that the emoticon seemed superficial, but that I meant it from the heart. So sorry if I distressed you.
My friend's email address is enclosed in the Wishadoo link above. Use that at Paypal.
Wish it could be more.
Thank you.
every bit helps and I thank you very much.
You know I loves me some kitties!!!
Some of you wonderful folks sent aid via snail mail; once those come in I will have probably $600-625, which is more than enough to get Jesse seen and cared for because I (finally got a call back!) talked to our local non-government nonprofit on Sunday afternoon and they gave me the names of a few vets who'd work with me on the bill ... if I can give them about 80% of the bill in cash, then they're apparently quite willing to give me a reduced rate for the neuter, flea and tick meds, and rabies shot.
So, the trap is set with tuna. My husband and I are going out to get a piece or two of KFC, which is supposed to be kitty-nirvana. Fingers crossed he shows tonight and I catch him. He snuck in and out late, late, late last night, ate some kibble and left without resting in the bed I have set up for him. I think he's sick of me peering at his eyes with the flashlight and trying to remove his ticks so he skulked in in the very early hours of the morning and left very little evidence, aside from the food evidence.*
(*I know the kibble wasn't eaten by either our local opossum or raccoon, because they're both slobs and trash the place... well, the opossum is a relatively neat eater but still manages to leave crud in the water; the raccoon just dumps the kibble in the water and makes a mess. )
I can't tell each of you how very much I appreciate your generosity and willingness to help my little Jesse-cat. He really needs some loving care, and thanks to all of you, I'm going to be able to give it to him; I'm determined to catch him one way or another.
