Our current fundraising drive

It sounds sort of silly to call it a “fundraising drive”, but hey, that’s probably the professional term for it.  We’re currently trying to raise funds to pay for laser eye surgery for Spiderman, a cat with severe glaucoma.  Spiderman is almost totally blind from congenital glaucoma, and he needs surgery to help reduce the intra-ocular pressure in his eyes and to ease discomfort.  The vet is donating his services for the surgery, but the entire cost of the procedure will still run about $700 for the pre-op tests and other materials expenses.  So far, we’ve raised $400, but we still need another $300 before the surgery can be scheduled.  I’d normally put the extra costs on my Care Credit card or a regular credit card, but I’m totally tapped out… I’ve got no money left on my cards, and I just can’t afford these costs.  I wish I could, but I care for so many animals, many of them sick, that it puts a huge burden on our finances and we’ve reached the point of being empty.

If you’d like to make a donation towards Spiderman’s surgery, please use the PayPal button on the sidebar (the one which says, “Make a Donation").  Every little bit helps.  You don’t even need to specify that the donation is for Spiderman unless you want to, because everything raised right now will be used for his care.  I don’t usually actively seek donations, but Spiderman is a special guy and I want him to be comfortable, and I want him to find a new home.  I can’t place him until he’s had surgery.

Thanks for helping, or for just wishing you could help… a little moral support is always nice, too smile
