I just tried calling but nobody answered, so I think they must be closed.
I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear from Dan how the visit went.
Hopefully everything went well.

Yowie, were you able to get in touch with them earlier?  Did they say how
Harri was doing?

Hugs,

Yup, thats how I contacted them, and thats how I know htey take credit
cards, although our accents were working against us and we had to repeat
things alot.

I rang about 3 hours ago, and htey didn't say anything about our Harri, but
then again,they didn't say anything bad ond nor did they imply that it was
the "final" account, so I am hoping that Harri is still with us.

I told them that Harri was an internationally famous cat, too.

Our purrs are with you, harri.

Will they accept a credit card?  I can only give ten beans, but if everyone
does five or ten beans, it could make a huge difference.

Anyone else?  Five spot or a ten spot?

I donated $50.00 by credit card, but I sent it to the original vet clinic
before I knew about specialist.  Even so, all of it should help.

Or a debit card.  I can do a fiver.  Lord knows I'd just blow it on
something stupid but at the time would think it was important.

I'm terribly concerned about Harri.  We've all read the RoadCat adventures
and watched via photos as Harri has grown up, managing to track down moths,
butterflies, lizards and other assorted little prey whilst keeping Papa Dan
company on those long drives between States.  Harri took to a leash like a
duck on water, going so far as to *bring* the leash to Dan.  "Hey you, it's
time for a kitten walk!"  Definitely on the larger side of adorable cat!

I'm definitely going to do something after I pay my electric and water bill
tomorrow and make sure my rent is lined up for July.  Oh, and I'd like to
eat, too.  Contrary to some of my food related posts with links to pics, I
don't eat like a queen.  When I have money I buy on sale and stockpile :)

A little warning here!!  Religious post/reply!!!!

That's what I "feel".  :(  But, I am also a "the glass is half empty type of
gal.  HUGE BIG TIME PRAYERS FOR HARRI!!!

If you're Christian, please read out loud!!

God,

Please wrap Your arms around Harriet right now.  Extra strength is needed to
pass on to her lungs.  Lord, we cannot always ask for miracles, but a
reminder of Your presence is a subtle way of making us realize that You are
here with each and every one of us right now as we pray, purr and give to a
kind soul and little Harri.

We ask for Your blessings each day, Dear Lord.  Let Harri catch more
butterflies here on earth for now.  In return, we shall do Your bidding.

Amen.

As I recall, he said it was a long drive to the specialist.  They probably
needed to get some food before going home to the computer.  Purrs that

Hi there:

I phoned and made a donation today.  She wouldn't tell me if there was a
balance at all and didn't even take my name - just my credit card info.
Okay - so I'm an accountant - but it seems that these donations should be
reconciled for Dan's bill.  I know that donations are best privately done;
however, I don't like the idea that each and every penny can't easily be
accounted for on Dan's bill as it stands.  It strikes me that Dan should
receive and accounting from everyone who sent to the specialist so that he
can make sure that it was appropriately applied to his account.

I requested a printed receipt by mail, and I sent emal to Dan informing him
of my donation.  I don't know if he's creating a list (given the stress and
time required for Harri), but email could be used later if he wants to
reconcile the amounts.  Dan, if you're reading this:  it would also be a
good idea to ask the vet clinic to maintain a separate list of donations.

It hadn't occurred to me, as I must admit to being badly distracted by
worrying about Harri. I'm barely able to think logically, but I'm
trying. I'll see about setting up some sort of record I can use to
reconcile the total bill. Thanks for the suggestion.

Never occurred to me, either, when folks were donating towards my
bill. I did finally receive a listing of the donations. Many of the
donations were made anonymously, so my list just showed an amount.

Those of us who gave will see the debit on our cards. If we don't,
then we can assume there was a mistake and perhaps send Dan a
check or do another donation for Harri via the vet. I don't see what
the purpose of all of this "accounting" is.

I think the concern is with making sure the donation actually goes
towards Dan's bill. Say someone sends in a donation charged against
their card. When they receive their statement they'll see the debit,
but since Dan may or may not know who made what donation there is not
way to check that one or more of those donations didn't end up being
charged to a difference account than intended.

Like I said in an earlier post, I never really thought about it, and I
trust my vet to charge any donations towards my bill. Course if three
people sent in anonymous donations of $20, and the list I received
from the vet listing donations only listed two $20 donations, there
would be no way to find out where the third $20 donation went.

Guess it depends on how much you trust people to do the right thing
without having a way to doublecheck them. If there's a question in
your mind when you're thinking of making a donation, maybe the way to
go would be to make the donation to a trusted member of the group.
Sort of like what Victor has done a couple times in the past.

I asked the same thing.  "What is the outstanding bill so far"?  I was put
on hold forever, and then the billing dept. said there was no bill compiled
as of yet.  When I gave my donation, I asked if she wanted my "internet
name" for Dan's records and she said that everyone else was donating
anonymously.  So, I followed suit.

I don't like this way of doing it and it makes no sense that they are not
making an audit trail.  I would like to see people let Dan know how much
they've donated so that he can make sure that it was all properly credited
to his account.

It seems okay if Dan trusts his vet. I didn't think twice about it and
appreciated the anonymity.

Absolutely! Dan, would you mind getting an itemized list of the
donations received and posting it? Even if it's just the ammounts, we
can make sure everybody's donation was included. :)

Victor - I think its better if everyone writes to Dan with their amounts.
Otherwise, there may be lots of $20 donations for instance, and no one will
know which one is theirs and how many there should be.

The only reason I'm jazzed about it this time is that I didn't like their
accounting procedures with not using names for the donations.  They didn't
even take the name for the Visa card for goodness sake!

Yep, we do it all the time at the pizza store (I was amazed how many
people pay for fast food with a card). All that's needed to charge a
card over the phone is the number, expiration date, and the 3 digit
verification # from the back of the card. When we make the delivery
the driver is supposed to check a picture ID, and that the card's name
and numbers info match the ID. But, how many times have you presented
your card and the cashier doesn't check for an ID?

Dan,

Please refer to my earlier message in response to Victor.  I would have no
objection to listing amounts (but doubt if that will be helpful), but I do
not want to see my real name listed on the newsgroup.  I always use the same
username ("MaryL"), so I am not trying to "hide" anything, but I am very
concerned about lack of privacy when personal information is posted.  We
have no idea about who may be lurking and gleaning information from these
groups.

Hi Dan,
I hope Herri continues to improve.  I think that is the important thing.
I understand the concern that the vet attribute the contributions to the
correct account.  I think you can work that out however you want to with the
vet's office.
I don't think we all need to know who is or who is not contributing and how
much to whatever cause.  I prefer that my name not be posted.
This goes for charities as well as personal contributions such as this. For
charities and political donations, I want a receipt, but do not want my name
included in any published list of contributors.
When I make a personal contribution to help someone one this group or
elsewhere, I'd just as soon be anonymous if at all possible.  Sometimes, you
just have to give people a chance to do the right thing and trust that they
will.  In cases such as this, I'm trusting that the vet will apply the money
to Harri's bill.
I'm also concerned that if we start posting amounts received that we might
attract attention of scammers or others with sad stories, who might think
there is a cash cow here.
It's just a quirk I have and I hope you will humor me.

I sure do understand! In the past when I've contributed to other folks'
vet needs it has been done anonymously, for the same reason. But I can
also see the point of those who urge that an accounting be kept - it's
hard to know when to trust any business, even a vet clinic, when
essentially untraceable funds are coming in.

For myself, I'm completely overwhelmed by the amount of support
(financial and, even more important, spiritual) that we've been
receiving from this group and would actually prefer for those who want
to be anonymous to remain so. I don't think it's possible to really do
an accounting, so I'll just have to trust this vet's billing folks to be
accurate and honest.

I also trust Victor.  I'm not so sure about PayPal.   And Victor is a
sweetie to handle those times he has, but I don't want to assume that he
wants to do it all the time.  That would be taking him for granted.
I think it's great when he wants to volunteer, but he should not have to put
up with being drafted and put on the spot.
Already someone has mentioned his name in another group in reference to
another cause.  As far as I know, he is not a regular participant in that
group and may not particpate there at all.  That is not fair to him.
Personally, prefer to contribute whatever I can directly to the vet or
shelter or rescue group or whatever is appropriate for the cause at hand.

I agree, Annie. It's very easy just to pick up the phone and call the
vet. What a wonderful age we live in, huh?
As a side note, I wonder if anyone else had any problem with the person
on the other end of the phone. She was very nice, very professional,
don't get me wrong. But we practically needed an interpreter. She
couldn't understand me, and I couldn't understand her accent, either.
It was like Valley Girl meets Daisy Duke. LOL.

The more I learn of them the more impressed I am. When we went to see
Harri last night we were escorted back to the Critical Care Unit. The
CCU seemed pretty busy and it was getting close to 7 PM on a Friday
night, so Nancy asked about staffing levels. We learned that the CCU has
6 vet techs on duty at all times. That's *just* the CCU - the rest of
the facility have more people on duty. And one of their dozen or so vets

Boy, that has to make you feel better. That's why I don't like to leave my
babies overnight unless absolutely necessary.

Now I am starting to wonder whether there are such specialized
vet clinic in town, probably not.
I know the Ontario Vet. College in Guelph is
able to handle most serious cases. But that is about 6 hrs drive
from here and I don't even have a car. Unless Montreal has some
such clinics, Rusty just have to stay healthy.

One would thing that as there's a Faculty for veterinary medicine at the
University of Montreal, there would also be a similar clinic as the one
in connection with the vet. college in Guelph.
See http://www.medvet.umontreal.ca/
They do have some kind of clinic, which is open 24-7 all year round, but
the site is in French only, and that is not one of my strongest languages.

That's my problem too. U of Montreal is a French only university,
I think. Don't know whether McGill has a vet. school.
Besides, I don't know Greyhound buses allow cats on board.
I just did a search and found there is a vet clinic in town
with specialized vet. that takes referrals  But a friend didn't like
that place  as her cat was treated there.
At least now I know my vet can refer Rusty if necessary.
He is the only vet at his clinic.

Again I  amd too much of a worrier.

Thank you for your kind comments. :) *blush*  But you can take me for
granted! That's what friends are for.

I hereby volunteer to collecting money anytime it's needed. :)

This is the only cat group I read, so I would not know anything about
that... ;-)

Well, I guess that settles it, then.
Thanks, Victor.

That means we throw money haphazardly towards Victor's feet? ;)

That might work with coins, but I think we should fold up the paper money
into little airplanes and let them fly.  It would be hard to predetermine
where they would land, though.

Victor,

I would object to this.  An anonymous listing that shows only amounts paid
would not help because there would probably be a number of duplicates -- and
I made a personal donation using my credit card precisely because I *do not*
ever use my full name on the Internet.  The vet clinic will have my name
because it is associated with my credit card, and I have no objection to Dan
having access to that information -- but I certainly do not want to see my
name listed in this group by using my correct name (and, conversely, the vet
clinic will not have my username).
