Re: [Felvtalk] Donations
I think people should be aware of where their money goes when they donate to national charities Little of it goes to help animals and most of it goes to the administrators, who get fat salaries and never have to see what we rescue people deal with day after day. The only organizations I give to now are Alley Cat Allies and Alley Cat Rescue. I gave to PETA for years, but we all know about them now, and they don't get a cent from me or most of us who are aware of what they do to cats!

all the "what if's" can torment almost more than their dying. like you said, it never goes away, just is less painful. hopefully, some day they will find a cure for this and other horrible diseases. dorlis Lynne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Sue, I am so sorry for your sadness but I understand.

Re: [Felvtalk] Donations
That's exactly what I thought you meant Sue, that the Buzzy fund money would go to James. That's what I meant by being happy to donate to it, ie James.

Re: [Felvtalk] Donations
What I really meant was that I, personally, would save up in my own "Buzzy Fund". Yours would probably be a BooBoo Fund. I have been thinking all day that I would like to ask the people who give me Christmas gifts to donate to my Buzzy Fund instead of giving me a gift. I am 51 years old and I sure don't need another ill fitting sweater or gim-crack, but I would be so happy to be able to give to the kitties in any possible way... I could also add to a change jar, or put money in that I receive by cutting hair on the side. So many different ways that might add up to something that would help. If I knew in my heart that I was doing it because of my darling Buzzy it would make me feel somewhat better. Most of us have lost our own beloved "Buzzys" over the years. I think my first Buzzy fund donation will go to James as Jane suggested. The idea is still too young to decide what to do beyond that.

Re: [Felvtalk] Donations
Dear Sue, I am so sorry for your sadness but I understand. I will forever see our Booboo looking up at me the night we had him PTS as if to say, I can't do this anymore. He couldn't have struggled like your Buzzy if he had wanted to. Lately I've been very sad about letting our old Lenny go. His only crime was that he was very old and after months of watching him deteriorate we decided he no longer had any quality of life left. Now I'm wishing we had tried to do more. It all gets easier over time but never goes away. I would be honored to contribute to a Buzzy fund.

Re: [Felvtalk] Donations
Jane, What a wonderful idea. I believe it is because of this list that Buzz was able to have his last few months of life, and to donate to the list in his memory would be just the thing. I am by no means wealthy and I have no idea how much running something like this costs, but maybe my little drop in the bucket would help some. It is probably selfish, but to set up my own little "Buzzy Fund" that I add to regularly and then give away would make me feel a little better. This has been such a heartbreaking weekend. I am really wondering if I should not have had him PTS. When I went to put him in his carrier he struggled to push his way out with more energy than he has had in at least a week.

Re: [Felvtalk] Donations
One thought Sue..the person who runs this list (James) has financed it pretty much on his own for several years. When he had difficulty with the servers and was able to get things back on line he mentioned that he would appreciate some help from the group. I think the help we all get from this list is invaluable and a contribution to help maintain it into the future would be a gift to all kitties who are helped from the collective wisdom here. I do not know how to reach him, but someone will. Just a thought.
