The Socks Defense Fund

[rolanni]

Many kind people have written to. . .ask that they be allowed to contribute to the Socks Defense Fund, even though the goal has changed (read about it here, and here).  Some other folks have taken matters into their own hands and have donated towards Socks’ vet bills via the Splinter Universe site.

You guys are determined to help, is what I’m saying here.

Far be it from Steve and me to stand in the way of determined people; in fact, we are grateful for help.  Thank you.

So!

Here's your link to the Socks Defense Fund.

Your Fans are the Best

[catherine ives (from livejournal.com)]

Not only are your fans very smart but they are also caring and generous. And I see that you are having an animal welfare discussion here with one fan who doesn't agree that your fans should contribute to the Socks Defense Fund because it might take donations away from other rescue work.. That's silly. This isn't an either or thing. I would be willing to bet that Sock's donors also give as much as they can to their favorite animal rescue organizations. That enables the organizations to save lives providing good care and finding good homes for pets.

The story of the cat Fred was interesting. Just as Fred came down with some health issues the Powers That Be generously donated a buncha money to your family. The PTB tend to do that to repay caring for the animals.

Every pet owning family heeds a vet that they can trust. Pets are part of the family. Obviously if the pets become ill they should be treated and given the best quality of life possible. If a person doesn't feel that pets should be treated when they are hurt or ill because it might be expensive it might be best not to adopt pets. I advise investing in stuffed animals for such people! It's great to know about the long time record in cat rescue and the very good home for felines that the Lee and Miller family has maintained over the years.

There is more money to go around if we share.

Glad to see that Socks is feeling well and able to help with the author's work. We depend on him. Glad to find out too that Mozart and Scrabble are also helping. It's wonderful see such feline dedication to the writers' art.

And all this from a dog person. Many barks to the Lee and Miller household felines and wishing them all the luck.....
