This is really bad news.

I have found the thread on the other forum, but Paypal will not accept my credit cards
for some unknown reason.

If some kind person could let me have an address etc, I will be able to forward a donation.

I have just read on the Bengal Forum that sadly Linda lost one of her furbabies to the fire and another one is very poorly.

I have copied the post below - so so sorry Linda x

Unfortunately, as a result of the house fire which occurred on Thursday, Linda has lost one of her cats. Supernova Faith was in the part of the house that was worst affected by the fire along with 4 other cats and the family dog. The fire fighters did a superb job of reviving them but it was just too late for Faith. Minerva (another Bengal) is in a poorly state at the vets but the other 3 cats and the dog are (thankfully) recovering.

Linda is obviously devastated by the loss of Faith and the uncertainty of Minerva’s future. Most of you will know Faith and will have followed her updates in the gallery. For those who don’t remember her I’ve added some links below:

Supernova Faith - Nov 08
Supernova Faith - Jan 09
Supernova Faith - Mar 09
Supernova Faith - Jul 09

Linda is overwhelmed by all the support that she has had from her friends on both this forum and the other forums that she uses and wants to say a huge “Thank You” to everyone for their support and well wishes. She is in temporary accommodation at the moment but hopes to have a permanent residence by the middle of next week and she will be taking her queens and their current litters with her. She’s received lots of offers of accommodation for her remaining cats and is currently working on getting them relocated to their new ‘temporary’ homes.

It saddens me deeply to think about poor Faith and Minerva and I can’t begin to imagine how Linda is feeling. I’m going to go and give all my babies a big cuddle…as Sue said; this could happen to any of us.

I think another forum is starting a collection to help Linda and Kevin out for the basics as insurance will take a while to kick in. I've sent her an email but she won't get it for while.

Sheryl do you think it would be ok with the other forum to post their link here for anyone who may wish to help out?
