a cat in need

[rm]

I don't know city_glitter but manhattan does. Last night, someone set her cat on fire. A godd samaritan rescued him, got him to a vet and called her. The little guy is going to live, amazingly, but has a huge vet bill. If you're inclined to help her with this you can visit her journal at http://www.livejournal.com/users/city_glitter/844663.html

I know some people have strong misgivings about LJ fundraising. That's fine. Please hug your animals and do your good works wherever you are comfortable doing so.

I know some people will also read this and say "but what about cause x y or z?" -- feel free to post a link in the comments, and if there winds up being a lot of stuff maybe I'll make another post listing everything.

ETA: The kitty in question got out of his second surgery and is doing well but will have a log recovery period (obviously).

ETA2: The kitty's vet bill needs have been met and things continue apace.

I have a lot of causes. Financially it is a zero sum equation, of course, because money does run out. But then there's a DVD one can go without, or a meal out one can skip, when something is very important. I hope people recognize that there are a lot of important places to spend money, but it's up to the individual conscience, and it's no service to any good cause if another equally good need goes unmet.

Cruelty to an innocent creature is one of the most loathesome talents of the pondscum of this world. I'd have no problem taking a baseball bat to his fingers and knees. And that's one of my causes.

We're sending her $50 and thanking the gods that it wasn't one of our furry horde. We'll stay in for dinner this week.

I don't even know you but you are a very nice person. I'm giving money and raising money for a friend's dog who died from Liver Cancer recently. The world needs more people like you.

Thank you. I just feel like we all need to do what we can, where we can, and not argue over doing good.
