hi, michael-- sorry to hear about the troubles. i can't do anything before the deadline here, as i'm on disability, and sort of overstepped my allotment for january already.......
something that you might think about, tho, is asking folks to do a monthly stipend--we're paying a rent payment of $800/month just that way, with most folks just sending $5 or $10 a month. even folks like me can manage the $5 amount! (and could do so for you, too.) remember that a lot of folks feel that the only thing they have to offer is money, because they can't take in another critter, and they can't do transport or physically have the time to volunteer at a shelter or event. we always tell them that money is a very acceptable thing for them to give.... people want to help, and will if they can--you're not forcing them to, you're just letting them know that there is need. would you mind if i posted the link on the other FeLV list that susan hoffman and i moderate (FeLVPositiveCats)? i'd mostly let your chip-in page speak for itself, but mention that both susan and i have worked with your personally..... let me know!
