Help for Cats Needed
This is from my cousin, please consider helping by reposting as well as a donation or even an adoption:

A father's death is always a difficult time, but for one daughter, a father left behind an especially difficult legacy. In a central-Pennsylvania county with no animal shelters or rescue groups, when word got out that Kay's father was too soft-hearted to refuse to care for any cat, his property became a dumping ground for any unwanted feline. After his recent unexpected death, Kay, who now lives out-of-state, returned to her family home to find that nearly 100 cats had set up residence in the house, garage, and property.

Now she is trying to do what her father would have wanted, to find homes for each and every kitty. It is easy to feel sympathy for Kay and her difficult situation, but what she needs is not our sympathy but our help.

Whether you know of a barn home that could take a couple of cats or if you have room in your own home for just one, please contact the Hundred Cat Foundation (HundredCatFdtn@aol.com) for information (a small adoption fee applies). You can also make a monetary donation to help defray the cost of caring for and/or transporting the cats through the Hundred Cat Foundation, PO Box 10, Centre Hall, PA 16828 or through PayPal at www.hundredcats.petfinder.com.

Each cat will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, de-wormed, and combo tested at an average cost of about $60/cat. Please include a note with your donation designating that it is for "Dad's Cats." Thank you!

Via [livejournal.com profile] rm, from whose post I've lifted the text below wholesale. I don't know [livejournal.com profile] britgeekgrrl myself, but she's a friend of several friends.

[livejournal.com profile] britgeekgrrl's husband has been battling cancer for a couple of years now. Sadly, that battle is almost over and sooner than was expected. If you've ever lost a loved-one you know that death-related expenses can be massive, even when choosing the most affordable and simple options, as is the case here. Cremation and associated costs are expected to run about $1,400 and it's just not in a budget that thought the timeline on this was going to run for several more months.

So, if you've got and money to spare, and I know many of us don't in this economy and this season, please PayPal a little bit to johanna_mead@yahoo.com Please select Gift (under Personal) under transaction to reduce the Paypal fee situation. Boosting the signal is also welcome.


[Edit: Make sure if you send any money that you click on the "Personal" tab rather than leaving it at the default "Purchase" and choose a category there; that will send the money without imposing any Paypal fees on the recipient unless you fund it using a credit card.]
