In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

Crazy wonderful cat people  :hug:.

So pleased to have been part of all this and such a deserving cause.  Well done Teresa for all you do and well done to everyone for organising such a fabulous auction.

Am sure there were plenty of things I've missed coz there were so many items but got four fabulous auction items.  Can't wait to try out the Fling ama String Cat Toy esp with Billy Whiz the string fiend  :)

you think you have done well! I have acquired some additional 12 possessions, two, with great thanks to the generosity of people who outbid me! I will be paying full price for both those additional items, and Pav, bless her little cotton soxes, will also be paying full price for the ivory cards and envelopes - so we each get half each, and T gets twice the money! ;D Now that is what I call a deal! :wow:

I have only just finished working out what on earth I won and how much I need to pay! It's only taken nearly two hours! I won seven items in the end  :Crazy: Happily they are all things I really wanted so am a happy bunny, I will also round my donation up a little bit. In the end I only went a couple of £ over my budget I set which is fairly impressive, thought it would be much worse! Can't think of a better thing to go over budget for  :Luv:

I think at this rate I'm going to be bankrupt but all for such a wonderful cause. I too can't wait to see how much we have raised.

I have won five items that I've found so far  :Crazy: Taking ages to go through all the threads, I wasn't sensible and kept a note of what I was bidding on so some things are a bit of a surprise!

teresa, if only the cats here in France had more people like you here!  your work is simply amazing and I cannot wait to see how much as been raised to help the resuce work continue. 

together with Frankie (our 7 month old rescue kitten) we are glad to be donating to your rescue.  we won 3 bids in the auction and frankie doo found a few more euros to add to the donation.

T, I think everyone here who has been bidding is very aware of the difficulties you have faced this year - but we know, as you know, that you are doing a wonderful job. I only wish I had managed to score a few more winning bids so I could make a better contribution. I will see what I have to spare once it is all tallied up, and there may yet be a wee bit left over. :hug:

Its no secret that Paws Inn has struggled to survive this year,( mainly due to human inadequacies on the health front) but ALL of you very wonderful Purrs people have kept me going when I have needed help the most. When I have been at my lowest ebb I have logged into Purrs and been able to smile at the wonderful words of wisdom and humour.
To be able to share such joy,pain and grief with such wonderful friends is truly a privilege.
I am truly overwhelmed by the way you have all donated to and bid on the Auction to help with our wonderful rescues and I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Sorry I will write a proper thank you later but at the minute I cant see through the tears.
Bless you all  :hug:

Thank goodness I can go out and get something to eat now, just missed out on the personalised pet bed by .04 seconds 925 dancer and I were in a frenzied bidding war  :rofl:

Indeed we were! I was on a few things, couldn't keep up with myself.  :rofl:

I think I may have won more items than I ever intended to! Got a bit excited at the end and just went post crazy!

Me, too, but not on the things I was bidding hotly on, seem to have found myself with a few sleepers ... and expensive ones at that!
