Knightmare Aug 18, 2012 03:03AM Hope the poor baby gets what he needs. Let us know where she's at with the funds? And how long do they have to raise?
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 03:31AM Update on the cat: They are close to the amount they need! They have $600/$800. You are all wonderful people, and I, like them, are
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:13AM I'm very happy. Spooky is such a sweet cat. A lot of people would be upset if he didn't pull through.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:14AM days_of_iron: Bless your heart. Thank you so much. Even if the money has been earned, I'm sure they would appreciate knowing that.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:16AM This really reminds me that the world is full of caring people. You're all so wonderful.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:26AM So they just got off the phone with the vet, and apparently they are actually three hundred dollars short.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:27AM I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed, but it looks like we all chose to celebrate too early.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:29AM I feel really bad for feeding plurk good news only to take it back. So...keep spreading the news! Heck, if you donate I'd be willing to give
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:30AM This cat needs a total of $2000 to be saved He's being kept over another night, so the vet had to up the price.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:32AM So that everyone isn't confused and frustrated by the story, I'll explain it here:
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:33AM This cat's liver is failing. The owners initially needed $800 to pay for his blood transfusions. After earning that much thanks to wonderful
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:33AM support, they thought they were in the clear. They are drawing any donators who ask anything they'd like.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:34AM After talking to the vets, they discovered they need to keep Spooky over another night, so the price went from $800 to $2000.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:35AM They need more money, so they're going to continue taking donations and doing commissions. See initial link for more information.
oғтнυrѕday☩ Aug 18, 2012 05:35AM I reblogged on tumblr; usually I have spare money but I don't have any right now 8( But hopefully if they raised $800 that fast they'll make
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:36AM amiasha: Thank you so, so much. I myself can't do very much, but if there's any way I can compensate, let me know.
oғтнυrѕday☩ Aug 18, 2012 05:39AM I definitely don't need anything especially for something as simple as reblogging <3 I hope they can reach their goal fast!
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:39AM They have told me they have until tomorrow to come up with the money, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:43AM I'm going to say here too, all donations for Spooky go to trickyartfuldodger@gmail.com on paypal.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 05:43AM Sorry that I keep posting here. I am just genuinely worried about this cat. I'll of course report any news on him that I may hear.
Dragon Kid Aug 18, 2012 06:39AM Donated some money. I hope they're able to raise enough money to cover the costs.
Renegade Lexi says Aug 18, 2012 07:23AM Oh my god... that hits home so much. So, so much. I've sent her $10 (and might send more if I can) and a personal message.
♊SYNDROME Aug 18, 2012 07:33AM i have to check and see if i'm able to donate anything but if i can i will 8(
Knightmare Aug 18, 2012 02:11PM No, you should keep posting updates and stuff to keep the plurk live/showing up on people's timelines. Don't apologize for that!
Knightmare Aug 18, 2012 02:12PM And I want to hear how things are going, personally. So no need for sorries.
oғтнυrѕday☩ Aug 18, 2012 04:26PM Any update on how close they are? And have you all considered braving the den of 4chan if it gets down to the wire?
oғтнυrѕday☩ Aug 18, 2012 04:27PM Cats are about the only thing channers care about so it might be worse a shot as a last resort
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 04:30PM I am willing to brave 4chan myself if need be. I wish I could stay home and keep a 24/7 update on Spooky, but I unfortunately have to work
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 04:31PM But I do have an update! Unfortunately, not on the amount, as the owner doesn't seem to be online right now.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 04:32PM Another friend of ours is also taking commissionsto save the Spooky.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 04:32PM I'm certain she'll send any money she receives directly to the paypal.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 04:33PM As soon as I hear anything I will update further, even if I'm at work.
Knightmare Aug 18, 2012 04:34PM Thank you for keeping us updated. Hope today at work goes smoothly for you.

PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 06:28PM I am going to work. Any new info I receive on Spooky will be posted ASAP. Thank you all so much for your help and support.
PickItUpPhones Aug 18, 2012 06:29PM Spooky's blood count is currently at 15, and he needs to be at 30 before he's healthy enough to return home. Last night he was at 8.

PickItUpPhones Aug 19, 2012 02:05AM surreptitious: You can try! I'm not sure if she's checking her email, or how often she does. I'm assuming it's the same as her paypal.
PickItUpPhones Aug 19, 2012 02:11AM surreptitious: They told me they can be contacted at mari_the_sweetheart@yahoo.com
PickItUpPhones Aug 19, 2012 02:11AM "I will be updating my tumblr as well as spooky's personal twitter with status updates too"

PickItUpPhones Aug 20, 2012 02:54AM There are no updates. The owner has not been online all day or updated their blog. If I don't hear from her by tomorrow I will try to
PickItUpPhones Aug 20, 2012 08:56PM Not exactly about the cat, but the reason I haven't heard from them is because one of the owners is in the hospital due to an infected bite
PickItUpPhones Aug 20, 2012 08:56PM from a cat. A mutual friend is visiting them now, so I'll ask her about it as soon as I can.

PickItUpPhones Aug 20, 2012 11:09PM he is in the clear. They said they can't possibly ask for more money, and are just thankful that Spooky is healthy enough to return home.
PickItUpPhones Aug 20, 2012 11:09PM This means an awful lot to me, as I've said before. This cat is very sweet and his owners love him very much. I'm really glad everyone could
PickItUpPhones Aug 20, 2012 11:10PM band together to help out someone they don't even know. It's times like this I am reminded that there are an awful lot of good people in
