How well I know. Having to pay for a new roof hs put me close to that
point. I am minding my finances and not buying anything until I get
past
the roof, hospital (fell and broke arm)copays. It can happen so fast.
When
I get bck on my feet, will try to help her. This has been my greatest
fear,
what would happen to my 4 cats if something hqppened to me. Trying to
set
up an account to transport them to Rustic Hollow and pay for their care
when
they get there.

Hi Margo
I intend to raise enough money to give them a decent enough cushion to
pay
for those monthly amounts, for at least one year, and hopefully two. I
am
great at online auctions, so if they have those in the nearby
communities,
I can easily pick up good furniture/dishes, etc., for low numbers, so
that
shouldn’t be a big issue.
I figure that this woman was renting so there must be some source of
money
in the future. If she and her son have enough of a cushion, this helps
people catch their breath and get back on their feet. It is easy to get
a
little bit behind every week on bills and expenses, until suddenly it
becomes an insurmountable amount. If she was looking after these
animals
and her son, there was obviously some money for food, etc.

I will be happy to help (although humans aren't usually my thing <g>).
My concern is how the family will cope in the future. Can they afford
the
$350 a month, plus utilities, food and pet food? Would this be "rented"
to
them, or lent, or rent with option? I'm not trying to be a wet blanket,
but even tho I'm also in SC, I'm to far to be of actual on-site use.
I just want to try to make this a re-homing, not just a foster
situation.
Told you people aren't my forte...

Hi Katherine
I have not heard from Sharon, but I have heard back from my former
client
in South Carolina, who has done a lot of research for me (bless her
soul)
and come up with a number of options. The best one she presented to me
was
a 2 bedroom used mobile home in Summerville for about $7,000 U.S. This
is
obviously quite inexpensive, and she says it probably needs new
carpeting
and a new air conditioning system, but probably for about $10,000 to
$12,000 U.S., with furniture, it is a good option. There is also a
monthly
fee for the lot, which is usually around $350 a month but it is already
in
a trailer park and wouldn’t have to be moved.
This is a totally do-able target number for me. If I can hear from her
regarding whether she is in favour of this option, I can get to work to
get that mobile home for her.
I hate to rely upon you to be the go-between, and if you are unable to
do
that, I will have to venture onto Facebook, regardless of my concerns.
Let
me know.

I hear you. I will private message her. I did find a GoFundMe page she
started -- without much luck it seems.

I don’t go on Facebook very often. I will try to get to it but I am not
very comfortable with it – they keep way too much of your personal
information and track everything about you. Can you privately message
her
and provide her with my email address? I don’t want it posted publicly
since obviously, every single person in the world with a difficult
situation will be contacting me and I harbour enough guilt in my soul
as
it is.
Is there someone else in South Carolina, close to her, with whom I can
collaborate to perhaps find a used trailer she can live in with the
animals and her son? I would be willing to spearhead some fundraising.

Hi Amani,
Thanks for your message. I don't have an email or phone number for
Sharon
Follin Jowers, but if you are on Facebook, you can see the full
conversation by joining the "Owners of FeLV+/FIV+ cats" group. It's a
private group, so you need to join the group to see it.
Once you are a member this link will take you to it:

I’m up in Canada so I can’t do much about finding a new home for the
animals. However, I would like to see if we might be able to do
something
more permanent for a person with a good heart who keeps animals like
this.
Can you put me in touch with her? Can you get more details?

She lives in a motel room with five cats, a dog and I think her adult
son
too. I think efforts have been made to raise money for a rent deposit
in
the past for her but I am unclear on the history. She just posted a
request for help with rehoming her animal(s).
The FeLV cat has some blood in his stool but sounds healthy and playful
otherwise.
Any Charleston resources or rescues that I could pass along?

Is it too late to help the owner keep her house?
