Thanks so much to everyone who donated to help Ron out a bit.

We have raised Just over £150 in a few days and i am transfering it over to Ron's account on Monday to help out with his vet bills.

I had donated directly to Ron's charity, didn't think of sending it to you for him.

Just like to say the Ron is "the salt of the earth" and works tirelessly in his rescue, he deserves all the help we can give him; when your busy caring for so many cats you cant get out to do fundraising or shopping.When you do Rescue its amazing just how many people know where you are when they have a problem or a cat to dump on you, its not so often that people offer a donation,Rescue is full of stress in caring for cats and keeping them healthy and worrying where the money to pay the next vet bill or food delivery is coming from. By donating we can at least relieve the wonderful Ron of a little worry.

T hun no probs the money will only be taken from you if the receiver email you send is a valid one so they accept the money. That won't happen cause there is no purrsinyourhearts email domain so noone to accept the money. Therefore it will always remain unclaimed and not go out. You can cancel any unclaimed payments  by doing this in your paypal account
 
Click the My Account tab
Click the History subtab
Find the payment to purrs in your hearts transaction
Click Cancel in the Action column of the transaction in question
Click Cancel Payment
You have successfully cancelled the payment  


Any collections for Ron are going through Purrs so i can buy and arrange direct delivery to Ron's address of the cat food etc  so Ron doesn't have to go out shoppin which can be difficult for him :)
PLease contact us beforehand of you would prefer to donate directly to Ron so we know who is donating.  :hug: :thanks:

Don't worry Peeps, I'm on it.

So just a reminder to everyone: and yes this is right.

Our paypal donation account for this appeal is: purrs@purrsinourhearts.co.uk

Please reference the donation as LostCatsBrighton or the like so we know which one is which.

Has it gone to right place or Limbo?

Limbo I'm afraid as Tan cannot accept the payment as she doesn't have that email addy.  I'm sure it's fairly simple to get it back - will have a nose around in paypal...

I guess its me who is the techno idiot, have copied part of paypal email sent

 to purrs@purrsinyourhearts.co.uk has been initiated. This payment will be completed once the recipient has accepted the payment.

It may take a few moments for this transaction to appear in the Recent Activity list on your Account Overview.

Has it gone to right place or Limbo?
Sorry Peeps

So how does T get the money back to her paypal account to start again, without it costing her money?

I reckon best bet is to write to Paypal and tell em the problem?

Worst case I'll contact PayPal, money has to be somewhere so they have to return it.

I'll sort out T's donation to the fund if its lost.

If I remember rightly when this happened before it 'appears' that the money has gone but in reality it is left in limbo as Tan does not have a paypal account set up with that email address so it can't be claimed.  If that's the case there must be a way to cancel the transaction (last time Tan added that email address to the paypal account but can't do that this time as she doesn't have an email add that ends in purrsinyourheart).

Re: Anyone heard from Ron (lostcatsbrighton) lately ....
« Reply #42 on: March 30, 2008, 19:51:00 PM »
Christine posted this so that when Mark and co visit they can take down some much needed supplies with the dosh donated directly to Purrs.

Thanks to the Canterbury Crusaders  :wow: we can get some much-needed supplies down to Ron next week.  Purrs has therefore set up a special appeal.  Anyone who wants to help can donate to the paypal Purrs account - purrs@purrsinourhearts.co.uk - and between us all we shall get the supplies to Ron.

I will find out from Tan how people without a Paypal account can donate to this appeal too.

Every donation, small or large, will go directly to helping one of the (nearly 40  :Crazy:) needy cats in Lost Cats Brightons care.

 :thanks:

I think people must be using the donations button on Rons site T...............its very little letters so hear is the link  ;D I havent seen any other link put up.

Sorry got thios all wrong all donations should be done through Purrs. The link has been put up above.

Please do not donate direct to Ron as he has requested it be co-ordinated within Purrs by Tan

 :thanks: It's the least I can do - I'm not sure if I will be able to help out as muchas I would like  as I am currently working part-time with an hour's 'gap' between finishing work and collecting my daughter from school - but I will go up and see. But I am prepared to just muck in if needed  . . . or attempt some fundraising if possible . . . .whatever they need I will see what I can do . . . .

When we adopted Alfie & Wilf recently, my lovely neighbour came along to help reassure the cats in the car on the long drive home. She has since declared that she has space in her heart and her home for a pair of cats and so I quickly pointed her in the direction of the local rescue centres, one of which was Ron's. I think she saw a couple that she was interested in - I will nudge her today! Hopefully free up a pen or two soon . . . . ;D
