EMERGENCY KITTEN FUNDING UPDATE:

Hello everyone, especially you @slartibartfast :)

There has been such a wonderful response to this Cat Cat Appeal, I am so delighted! Once all the monies are in I will issue a final total and let you all know the details of exactly what was bought...but for now here is a mini-update.

I have placed the first order (I will do another once Whiskas comes back into stock! So this one is some Whiskas, some Felix, Smilla dried food), to the tune of 498 Polish Zloty (which is about ÂŁ107!). The next order will be similar in size again. I will update further once it's happened - I promise I'm quite trustworthy and not stealing your money! This first parcel should keep you going SBF until the Whiskas comes back into stock, I just didn't want to not do anything for you today. My Polish is getting quite good now, as long as it's about cat food :) I shall wait for the whiskas poultry (drob, you know!) to come back into stock before I do the next order.

So there are 120 cans of food on the way to you, 20kg of dried food and I must confess there's a four pack of Cosma Snackies for YOUR cats, as a thank you for all the work you do for the homeless kitties (which was the excellent idea of @Summercat). I hope the flavours are OK, I picked a selection of flavours.

I am going to name everyone and say thank you SO SO MUCH for your kind donations, you are amazing (and I am happy to embarrass you all!). So here we go:

@NFC slave @QOTN @Paddypaws @SbanR @Summercat @Clairabella @immum @Jesthar @ChaosCat @LJC675 @chillminx

Just adding thanks to @huckybuck and the Secret Santa fund from last year too :) Just incredible!

Love from me and Oscar (who in fairness hasn't been very helpful but is still very handsome, so I'll let him off) xx

Thank you so much, everyone. You've been so kind.

At @chillminx 's suggestion, I am going to split the order into probably two smaller orders, or it may draw attention. Thanks CM for drawing that to my attention too, I hadn't thought of that aspect, I just got all excited at the thought of the kitties being fed. That's me all over, really.

I will keep this going for another hour or so, then will "Close Up Shop" as it were and sort the order(s) out.

@slartibartfast - I hope you have some space to put all this! I know you have some hungry kittens to feed. We can have a discussion about other foods at a later date, perhaps for the next order?
That shouldn't draw attention, even if it's a big parcel. The law is just pure evil about getting money.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because of you those starving skeletons will soon look like a normal beautiful kittens!!!

Going to work soon and on my way I will deliver them some dinner and those brilliant news!!!
 
:cool:Thanks for organizing this @Mrs Funkin

I must admit I tried to join but failed due to not passing my PayPal examination for today (long story but I am abroad and my PayPal acct is not).
Will try to do so in the next allowable period by the masters of PayPal verification systems and will hopefully pass muster next go round.
 
Who knows quite frankly? :) I have an awesome new app on my phone now though, where you hover over the screen and it translates! It's brilliant. The homeless kitties might find themselves with some odd combos...I think shark and pomegranate in gravy sounds perfectly delicious ;)

See, you shouldn't go having fun, you should've just gone to the dentist like I did :)
It's a pleasure - @JaimeandBree and I suddenly realised we still had the SS fund left from last year and some money from a meet up too - we'd already agreed to send to SBF ages ago but being nervous of the zooplus website delayed that!!

So ÂŁ50 has been donated to the SBF emergency kitten fund from the SS money (the remainder has been sent to @Clairabella to help with vets fees incurred from fostering CP cats - I hope everyone is ok with this) and I have sent a donation alongside too.
 
Oh Shame only read this I would have like to have donated.
Don't worry @Gallifreyangirl, I'm going to do a monthly order for SBF's homeless kitties, starting 1st November (as it's very close already to 1st October and we've had such a lot of donations it will buy lots of food), so I will do a thread each month - then people can dip in and out as they wish to :) Hope that's OK x

This is a great idea!!!
Thank you Mrs F for organising xx
 
Oh no! So sorry, I didn't realise. Oops :( I hope I'm not in trouble now. Happy to take guidance on how this could move forward, all ideas welcome. I really am sorry Mods :( Please don't ban me, Oscar will be really cross if I've not got anywhere I can ask my random questions about him. Thank you @LJC675 for the heads up.

You're very clever to have found the app Mrs F
