The shelter did end up taking the cats from the Meriden hoarder. It wasn't fifty, it was sixty-seven. I don't know if anyone here can picture that many cats, so let's just say it's a shitload. It turns out that the house they were taken from wasn't a house either, but a two-bedroom apartment.

So, here through my sister (fleurdelista) and letting you know I'm sending a tiny little package of a towel and a hideous red and white checkered twin sheet. Let me know if the thought of the sheet horrifies you and I will not post.

(Also, I could not work at a shelter. I would want to take all the kitties home. I do wish I lived closer, because I would totally take a black kitty (or any kitty!) off your hands.)

Hideous sheets are my favorite. :) They give us all a good laugh. Thank you!

If I thought I could get away with putting a cat ina cardboard box and mailing it to you, I would do that. I think the cat might be a bit annoyed by the time it got to you, though.

[sashalmiller]

Heh, I think that is why the sheet was purchased in the first place.

::laugh:: It very probably would be. Ah, well, there are shelters around here for when I do get a cat.

Would it be alright for me to link to this post from my LJ? I totally do not want to presume.

There's nothing better than owning intentionally horrible things. I have a few pairs of knee socks for that purpose.

That would be great of you, thank you so much!

[fleurdelista]

After I move, I may have some stuff you guys can use -- old sheets and pillowcases and such. I don't really know what I have right now, but believe me I will send something.

[death_ismygift]

Thank you, both for donations and for pimping. It's really wonderful of you.

[fleurdelista]

You're welcome. I love kitties (and all animals), and if I wasn't allergic to cats I would totally work in a shelter too. I can't stand to see any animal mistreated, and you guys do such good work with them.

If it's alright with you, I may post this to sf_drama's OTT Tuesday, because you might get more exposure that way.

[death_ismygift]

Aw, thank you.

That would be wonderful! Any publicity we can get is appreciated so much.

any recommendations?

[poison_key]

I would like to order for you some stuff on the net (since I live in England and do not have a Paypal account) but I confess to having no idea of US online petshops for accessories or food...Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

Re: any recommendations?

[death_ismygift]

Places like www.Petsmart.com and www.petco.com, or even Walmart.com. We don't need anything anything fancy, just the basic basics.

Thank you very much. :)

NOTE TO ALL NON-NORTH AMERICANS: to pay with your foreign credit or debit card on US websites is almost impossible, unless you want to pay more in 'shipping/handling fee' than on your order...
The good thing is that if you give euros or british pounds, it converts to plenty of dollars at the current exchange rates!
Cottontrail, I really tried to order stuff, but with a foreign credit card I had to give up. It was easier to create a Paypal account! I sent you £40 for the shelter, which should be almost $80, could you please confirm that you received it?

Re: any recommendations?

[death_ismygift]

I received and I can't even tell you how much I appreciate it. Actually, money is easier to deal with than supplies anyway, because the vet bills are absolutely astounding. We have a deal with the local vet so we can get discounts on certain procedures and have a running debt instead of paying for everything when it gets done.

I'm going to send some money through paypal. I don't have a lot but I feel bad for those poor kitties!

[death_ismygift]

Every little bit helps! Thank you!

I might be able to send some linens when I go back to my old living space as well. Is it alright if it takes a bit of time to gather and such?

[death_ismygift]

We always need linens, so anytime you can do it is just fine. I don't want anyone to feel pressured, so don't worry about it if you can't or if it takes a while.
