Candace

Hey, I saved a life! Send me some donations

You stumbled in and bumped your head if not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground

This makes no sense I know...but it's got emotion

But I like you, because you stood up to me, it's a dam shame our worlds
will never collide.

I guess Im just happy for Conan, this, and probably just another cheap
ploy on my part to get some more attention.

No, you a.s. lol!

No, it's Monica. The M in cmtowle. Clearly you weren't around years ago. But
everybody knows Megan posts only under her own name.

Hi all,

Thank you all of you for your kind words, enthusiastic responses, and for
your offer of donations. For now, we are fine and would be really happy if
all of the energy as well as finances that went into and would have gone
into rescuing Conan would be directed in whatever way possible to local
shelters, rescue organizations, etc. The heart-break of these "rescue
missions" is always that there are so very many needing help (as Cheryl,
barry, Helen, and others have pointed out in other threads), each and every
single one as worthy as the other of being rescued and adopted. The sad
reality is that the lucky ones get our attention, most do not. However,
making a commitment of saving even one animal, when we can, does make a
difference.

Mary, thanks for the adopter possibility - he is going to contact us and we
will go from there. As to those who are cynical about this rescue effort, I
can only hope that it wasn't directed at us. I can assure every one of you
that this had and has nothing to do with control, ego, etc., but with
rescuing from possible euthanasia and adopting out to a great home only one
of a myriad of cats that happened to come into focus in this group. One we
knew we could do something about. We are well aware that it is a droplet in
the ocean while others continue to suffer, but to Conan it made a difference
and for now that has to be enough.

Thank you again,

M.

Thank goodness we don't have to hear about this cat anymore.

I would pay good money to have a picture of Phillip as a boy...I bet he
looked just like Buster Brown.

Thanks from us to all who decided to donate to their shelters and for the
continuing kind words of support. I do want to emphasize that this was truly
a team effort and in no way do I want to leave the impression that I did or
could have done this on my own. Each of us is equally involved and will
continue to be so until we are satisfied that Conan is settled in a great
home. I am sorry that for some this saga seems to be continuing ad nauseam
and we will do what we can to minimize the emphasis on this one kitty, so
that others will get a better chance of being heard and helped. Any
potential adopter info can be sent via e-mail. This will reduce the back and
forth here.

Thank you,

M.
