SECOND POST: For Kitty Tuesday, Apr. 14, 2009 - 4:35 p.m. Friends, I don't recall ever having come to you with a problem of this nature before, but I'm doing it now. Down here in Anaheim, in the apartment where Dave lives, there is a community of feral cats whom the apartment dwellers take care of. One of them was severely injured last night. She showed up here with a limp and some cuts and bruises. These are the sort of injuries a cat receives when it's almost run over by a car. A trip to the vet for x-rays and bloodwork reveals that she does have a fractured leg. The bloodwork will take place tomorrow, and if she is healthy, the surgery to put a pin in, and apparently also to spay her will take place on Thursday. If she is not healthy, then we'll say goodbye and let her go. The thing is -- this has been an unexpected addition to our budget. John has made it very clear that this is an expense that we really need to clear as soon as possible, and he's told me in no uncertain terms that it's time for me to say something here. So, I'm saying something here. If you can make a donation to me for Kitty's repair bill, let me know. If she gets surgery, this is going to be right around the two thousand dollar mark. If the news is bad and we have to go ahead and bid farewell, she is still going to cost us around seven hundred. This isn't even tax-deductable, kids. You would just be doing a favor for Old Buddy Dave. I have a PayPal account. (Brin-Marie McLaughlin / [email protected]) If there is anything you can do, I will appreciate it for the rest of my life, and so will Old Buddy Dave. I don't know what else to tell you guys. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments section or get ahold of me through the usual channels. Humbly -- thanks. --- UPDATE: Kitty's bloodwork is great; other than that annoying collision with the damned automobile, she's in perfect health. Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and she can come home two days later! xoxox ---
