taco’s chipin page

and another bump

P4M–please don’t make people feel badly if they can’t give. Guilting people to give is in very poor taste, IMHO, and bringing the Lord into it is even worse. People do the best they can and if they choose to help, they will.

BUMP!

Well said PP. Nearly $1000 dollars in a month – TDK rocks!

Madcatwoman, Owlwatcher and Gini you may be interested in knowing that through you all I discovered Chipin which I had never even heard of before. I sent it to my September Hero, Mary Alice of Jollity Farm in England and today she managed to get it up on her site to help bring a beautiful, abandonded dog home to Jollity Farm. She is absolutely tickled to have found out about Chipin. If you would like to take a look at what she has done you will find it here:

Just scroll down till you see the picture of beautiful Cara.

I have learned so much since MIU brought my attention to TDK and I too am grateful to all the wonderful people I have met on this site. I only wish I could spend more time on her getting to know all of you better.

Thank you all for being you. Cat lovers are absolutely the best people in the world (a little wacky maybe but still the best)

Purr4me, please don’t feel that way. We are all family here and sometimes have disagreements, just like flesh-and-blood families do. Sometimes wording comes across differently in this type of forum than if we were all standing around talking in person.

Someone re-post the Coke rules!

Purr4me,

I am sorry if my reply to your post might have sounded a bit harsh, but did you ever stop to think of how hurtful your post could have been to somebody who did not have the money to help but badly wanted to? Keep in mind that it is not cold-heartedness that keeps people from donating to Taco’s chip in page, it is a lack of money. Your post about people not donating really hurt my feelings as I would love to help but cannot even help myself right now.

If my reply to your post keeps you from posting again, I cannot help that nor will I let it make me feel guilty. I won’t beg you to continue posting, although I do think it is kind of silly to allow two people disagreeing with you to chase you away.

Taco is a kitten that we have watched grow up here on the daily kitten. He was very sick for a long time but is now happy and healthy. Take a look at the original post on this thread and click on the link for the chip in page to see pictures of him and read his story.

OK, Everybody, get your claws back in and the fluffed up tails back down to the normal size. This chipin was not set up to make anyone feel guilty about whether they can help or not. OW, I am a little surprised by your reaction. Many of us helped you buy a computer when you asked for help. And many of us, me included, did pray about doing the right thing. So, God or whoever one believes in, answers and delivers when asked either through prayer or meditation. So, I will chipin again. Because I want to not because I have to or because anyone made me feel guilty.

Purr4me, I hope you won’t stop posting because of remarks made by another or two. I hardly ever post anymore because of the cat fights. It is easier to sit on the side lines and be a lurker but sometimes I have to speak up.
