Like Helen I get paid Monday so will send mine then too.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #28 on:** March 28, 2008, 19:48:22 PM »

I sent my donation ... it's not alot but every little helps

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #27 on:** March 28, 2008, 19:48:05 PM »

I get paid on the 31st so will send a donation via paypal then - two days and counting

Do you think it might be an idea to amend the title of this thread temporarily with an appeal title?

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #26 on:** March 28, 2008, 19:44:17 PM »

Thanks to the Canterbury Crusaders

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

) needy cats in Lost Cats Brightons care.

I think the Boxes Sharon is talking about contain 100 pouches

I have some of those Mark but never counted them.

I'm only guessing - haven't counted them either

Some of them are go-cat pouches which I have never seem in the shops.

I HAVE had to count them.

They are supposed to be 100 but they are usually a couple short.

That's really good - not much more than the Hill's sale price. I think PB is phoning him tomorrow to find out if/when we can go. It looks like Julie, Sharon & me will be going together. Hopefully Julie will see this and can ask Ron about RC rescue prices. If he hasn't got an account yet, maybe he can get one going forward.

Just wondering if Ron buys direct from Royal Canin because 10kg is only £30 to rescues which works out cheaper so maybe Ron could make things go further if he received monetary donations instead. Just a thought

Tan may be able to set up a food fund, Mark, but I do know that you can donate to Lost Cats Brighton via Paypal at http://www.lostcatsbrighton.org.uk/html/donations.html

It's a shame the timing wasn't better as PAH sale ends tomorrow.
At the moment, they are selling 5kg bags of Hill's £27.99 BOGOF and 4kg premium own brand £15 BOGOF

Just a thought that if anyone wanted to donate, I wonder if it could go in a paypal account or something and then Julie & I could maybe do another shop before we go?

Maybe someone could arrange a little appeal?

Just bearing in mind 50p can feed a cat for a day at least so anything would help.

I have already spoken to Dennis - we are going into Canterbury today. Planning on going to PAH on the way back so hopefully they will have their dry food BOGOF and we will buy a few bags - it's good quality so if we can get 2 x 2kg bags for £7 will be good.

I also have a few 1/4 & 1/2 used bags that I'm sure some of his waifs will be glad of (although apparently not good enough for my lot

).

Julie, Thursday or Friday would be good for me as busy with vet runs etc tomorrow. If you can't do this week, any day next week is fine with me. Just let me know.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #16 on:** March 24, 2008, 10:20:05 AM »

Dennis may have something to say about that!

You are all fabulous for getting this help together!

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #15 on:** March 24, 2008, 10:13:36 AM »

Well, if Mark's prepared to use his car, I will come along to do the humping.

I've got some food here he could have as well.

It would have to be either a Wednesday, Thursday or a Friday.

Edited to say, the reason I don't want to use my car is that it's slowly rusting to death and I don't think a journey that far is wise.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #14 on:** March 24, 2008, 09:47:57 AM »

Mark seem's willing to use his car.....

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #13 on:** March 24, 2008, 09:39:39 AM »

I am sure if I had a word with our committee we could spare a few boxes of food to give him.... Although not local we may be able to help in other ways... But it would depend on transport to Brighton i suppose.

Mark · « **Reply #12 on:** March 23, 2008, 23:46:52 PM »

I will go with you this time. Happy to use my car if you want to go sooner. We can hopefully sort out some food for him.

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #11 on:** March 23, 2008, 22:42:38 PM »

My car's a bit dodgy at the moment and I don't want to risk the journey. Hopefully, it will be replaced in a month or so and then I'll organise a run down there.

I had no idea Ron was in the lurch again. I thought he had a new chap supporting him, but obviously it didn't last...

Mark · « **Reply #10 on:** March 23, 2008, 15:24:40 PM »

I don't suppose he would even have time if the weather was good

Bazsmum · « **Reply #9 on:** March 23, 2008, 15:23:02 PM »

Yeah its not really boot sale weather either and I remember him getting in extra monies via doing them!

Mark · « **Reply #8 on:** March 23, 2008, 15:19:28 PM »

With 38 cats, I'm sure he could do with some extra food etc. - It's a lot for one person to cope with in all ways.

I will have a word with PB and see what we can do.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #7 on:** March 23, 2008, 14:25:37 PM »

I have posted an appeal at http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,13312.msg227612.html#msg227612

Anyone in the Brighton area who could spare some time to help Ron, please get in touch with him: details at www.lostcatsbrighton.org.uk And of course, if you live around there and would like to adopt a cat from Ron, I am sure he would be overjoyed to hear from you.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #6 on:** March 23, 2008, 14:17:45 PM »

Thanks for the update ... Poor Ron being left in the lurch like that. I agree putting out a plea for a helper isn't cheeky ... that's what we are all here for - to help each other out and of course to help the kitties.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #5 on:** March 23, 2008, 14:13:46 PM »

I will do that, Bazsmum. I just re-checked Rons note to me and he has 38 cats, not 36

I did wonder if anyone in the Brighton area could spare some time to help Ron out, but it seems a bit cheeky for me to ask when I am nowhere near Brighton myself.

....We also know if you were anywhere near Brighton you would be there in a shot....I dont think it would be cheeky C, maybe a request in the rescue and re-homing sect would help him out and all those lovely puds!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #3 on:** March 23, 2008, 13:33:41 PM »

Poor Ron, I do hope he finds a new helper soon. It is amazing how busy rescues are this early in the year, it doesn't seem as though we are going to have a better year than last year.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #2 on:** March 23, 2008, 13:28:19 PM »

Funnily enough, I dropped Ron a line a couple of days ago for the same reason, Sam. He replied telling me that he has 36 cats in at present and his main helper has left so he is up to his eyes with work and cant see the light at the end of the tunnel.

.... was just thinking he's been very quiet (I assume busy).
