Daughters cat broke its leg - donation request post

Hey, I know this isn't necessarily the best place to ask for help, but it is for my daughter and her cat and she is devastated. I don't have the money to pay for this and I am hoping she doesn't have to put the cat down. Please don't flame out.

I don't post a lot, but I have been a steady lurker for a lot of years.

If you can help, that would be great. Times are tough for everyone. So thank you for anything you can do.

Help Samoa

edit Goal was reached. Cat had the surgery. Thank you Everyone !!!

How quickly do you need donations? It's been a hellacious week and I need to sit down sometime this weekend or early next week to look over what I have coming up so I can determine how much I can donate.

[edit]And yeah, you may not post a lot, but I recognize you being around here for a good while now.

I think you'll find this is one of the best places to ask for help.

I'm not particularly a cat person, but I'm very familiar with the knife-to-the-heart that is a sad daughter. I'll drop something in to help.

I too recognize dthind's username and my remembering gland squirts good juices at the sight of it.

As a huge animal lover and owner of 5 cats...you had me at hello. Don't let this one fizzle out guys I've seen the community give a lot to a lot of different stuff. There's no way you can watch that youtube video of the cat on the donation page and not send some money.

I volunteer with my local humane society. There's no way I can't help out a pet in need if there's anything I can do about it.

Especially an adorable cat.

Get well, Samoa!

I can't donate through that site atm, but I can send money through PayPal if you give me an email address.

Thank you everyone for your support. I dont have any pay pal information at this time. I will see what she can do.

I can accept the money through paypal and then send on as a donation with your name if you would like.

That'll work. PM me your PayPal address and we'll get it started.

Thanks, Gumbie.

(Btw, if I send the money as a gift there's no fees, right?)

Post holiday vacation budget is a bit tight but my break from drinking frees up some funds. Donation sent. Best of luck!

If you do a bank transfer there are no fees with gifts. If you use a CC fees are applied.

Ah, good to know. It's a bank transfer, so...

Gah! No fair posting cute youtube kitty videos!

Reminder post. I need to be at a different computer to contribute.

Might as well post the video here:

I donated. Hope you get it sorted out!

2 weeks after we adopted our cat she suddenly stopped walking and we found out she had a hip condition that required FHO surgery. That was a financial blow we weren't expecting but we'd all ready fallen in love with her so I know exactly how your daughter is feeling.

Chipped in and wish her luck with the surgery. Keep us updated on how things go.

Cat is at the vet now for surgery. Will be done late today and home for the weekend. Thank you all for your kind words and support !

My daughter is updating the fund me page with kitty updates

Almost halfway there. Pretty cool.

Amanda posted an update that the surgery has been a success! Here's to the speedy recovery!

Hey dthind if you don't mind can you have her give a shout out to Anandtech? I posted the story over there and got several donations. Didn't want them to feel left out since GWJ and hardop got props.

Yes. I will do that.

Goal has been Reached - Cat had her Surgery and is recovering at home.

Thank you everyone !!!

Tannhauser'd.

Congrats on hitting the goal and having a healing kitty!
