Cat Blogosphere

Orlando Bun here… I’m getting my pre-show rub down. I case you don’t know I’m in the latest CCSI show airing this weekend - click here for more information. I’ve also heard that there was a tabloid reporter on set, I know I didn’t let him in! All I can say is that if you click here purchasing some of the images by that individual… it was the stunt bunny and not me!

I thought I’d let you guys know where we stand in terms of becoming an
actual charitable organization recognized by the IRS. We have a lot left
to do and some of those things coming up are very expensive. We have
already obtained our incorporation certificate which cost about $75. I am
in the process of applying for a charitable submissions license which
costs $100, our 502(c)(3) fees will be $750 which is our largest expense.
We also have small expenses which certainly chip away at our costs; these
include domain registration, chat rooms for meetings and newsletter
services. All and all we really need about $1000 to truly be in the up and
running as we would like to be. We understand this will take time, but
we’re trying to move it along as quickly as possible with fund raisers for
our operating or administration fund. ML, our chairperson of the fund
raising committee, was kind enough to donate THIS WONDERFUL CAMERA. ML requested all donations from the camera go directly to our operating
costs.

So we’re asking all you kitties out there to buy even just one
raffle tickets to help us realize out dreams. Besides helping our
organization reach its goals, you will have an opportunity to win this
wonderful camera which Amazon lists at $465.99. Please check it out for
all the product details. We want to thank for you all your support so far,
we are a little over half way to all of our goals. We are very anxious to
begin helping the kitties of the blogosphere and with your help we know we
can reach our goals.

Anyone who is auctioning off something for Laura or having a fund raiser for Laura, Mu Shue and Lilly Lu, please request to be an author at the Cat Auction site.

You will still use your blog to auction stuff, but this way we can keep an eye on what’s going on all in one place without overwhelming the cat blogosphere!

Since we know that several other cat bloggers are interested in digital scrapbooking, I thought to let everyone know that there is a beautiful scrapbook kit available for purchase, with all proceeds going to the ASPCA.  For a donation of $7.99 US to the ASPCA, you get an amazing kit created by a talented team of designers.  Our mom has purchased the kit and can’t wait to use it to create some beautiful layouts.

More details, as well as images of the kit and layouts made with it, can be found here.

Make a donation of at least $2.00 to the Cat Blogsphere’s Friends helping Friends fund by Easter (March 23) and DKM will send you some squiggles.  Mom Robyn, Sanjee, ML and KC will distribute the funds to our friends in need across the blogsphere. Come on, you know you want one…

Don’t miss the Squiggles.

LEO UPDATE 9/4: Leo is Doing ok.they took the tube out of his urethra but he is not peeing on is own yet so if he does not pee tonightthey have to replace the tube. Thank you for all your help. Jessica

You can email Jessica at starlet0583 AT yahoo.com.

Hi, my name is Jessica and I am in need of some help. My Kittie Leo had to be rushed to the hospital last night because he couldn’t pee. He had a life threating blockage and had to be unblocked right away. The cost was $1200. We managed to come up with that money. When we got home, the vet called and stated she could not unblock him, he needed additional surgery and the cost would be $3500 more. We broke down, there is no way that we could afford it. The vet stated that he needed this surgery or we could put him to sleep. He is only a year old. We put a deposit of an additional $1400 on a credit card. Two hours later the vet calls and states he is unblocked. THANK GOD! But Leo may have a tear in his urethra and more surgery may be needed. I am a a wreck trying to figure out how I will afford this and hoping that my little man will not need more surgery. If there is anyway that you can assist me please let me know. Leo is a Bengal kittie. I fell in love with him the first time I met him, he is my best buddy. Thank you, Jessica Goodrich

Jessica and Leo don’t have a blog yet, so you can leave comments and prayers for them right here. And Jessica can keep us updated on Leo’s condition.
