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

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.

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 :)

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.

Susan M - 24 Jun 2005 00:59 GMT 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 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.

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.
Steve Touchstone - 24 Jun 2005 14:47 GMT >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.

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. :)

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?

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. Annie

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.

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.

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 is duty at all times.

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.

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. Annie

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).
