THANK YOU!!!!!

For everyone who gave gifts of monetary or artistic nature and those who bid on items... Thank you so Much!!! We managed to break about even. At one point, we looked to have a surplus but a gift fell through. If at any point we do end up with more than our intended amount, we have decided that we want to put what little or much we raise over towards local spay and neuter programs. This way we are helping to stop the cycle that adds to the number of animals in shelters. We also are planning on making a silk screen prints for everyone who helped the art-raiser in any way. I (Becky) had planned to make the prints in October but due to the chaos of grad school and desire to finish my PhD, it's being delayed. I will have them made and sent out by Xmas (promise).

Please leave an email address that we can contact you through in the case that you are the winning bid. Thank you for the bid! =)

Give to the Cause

You may give any amount you choose. The entire gift amount minus Paypal's processing fees (2.9% + $0.30 per donation) will go to Scout's medical fund. Anything over the cost of his medical bills will be donated to the ASPCA. Please Note: As we are not listed as a non-profit (501 3c), everything given is considered a gift and not a write-off We are no longer accepting donations for Scout as his medical treatment has been paid off. If you have been inspired by his story, please give a local shelter near you what you would have given us. Shelters are always in need of donations (monetary, blankets, food, etc). =)

The Cause

Scout was a 2.5yr old domestic short hair cat that we adopted from Ft. Riley, KS on Memorial Day 2009. He was a human lover, PTSD therapy cat, slug finder, grass eater, bird watcher, and all around good kitty. So we were heart broken to suddenly find that he had leukemia with severe anemia at an emergency trip to the vets during which he nearly died. Thanks to a blood transfusion from a cat named Scrubs, he was given a few more weeks to be pampered like a king. And he sure was pampered with fresh tuna, steamed shrimp and even some whip cream (as it could do no more harm than the cancer). We managed to give him the best 2 weeks a cat could want before he left us. But because we thought with our hearts, we've accumulated medical bills over 2K. With student incomes, we will be hard pressed to pay them in time so we are organizing the Art-Raiser to help us with the bills while we grieve the loss of an amazing cat. We appreciate you taking the time to visit and thank those who give! Love, Becky and Josh.
