Hi wonderful cat peeps :)
We have been through all the threads now and posted the winning bidders and totals for each item including Postage which the winning bidder pays. All this total goes direct to Cov Cats (incl the postage paid)
I will be updating our spread sheet with all the auction totals now but this will take me till tomorrow eve so totals will be announced Tomorrow night as well as a summary list of all the items and winners with totals.
If you spot any winner's post that is wrong, please let us know here so we can correct it. :thanks: :thanks:
Auctioneers - Please don't send off any items until myself or Gilly has posted on the item that monies have been received, so Auctioneers, please hold on to your items till there is a paid post on each thread for your items. :hug: :hug: :thanks: :hug: :hug:
-
Tan and I have cross posted LOL, one of us will be doing the spread sheet :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
A joint effort lol :rofl: :Luv:
-
Yes lol, one is gonna put it all in and the other take it out :rofl: :rofl:

You 2 are ruddy crazy ;)

After much blood sweat and tears and blue air :shify: we have a total ;D
This total may adjust a bit in either direction but I reckon its a job well done by all ;D ;D
I am just a tad tired and the furrbies are circling for their food and I need mine,
The dreaded ss will be off to Tan shortly so she can juggle to post a list but she is probably still in the thick of line one above :rofl: :rofl:
Once the list is up please read on your winning threads exactly what to do next :shify: :shify:
OK after a fabulash two weeks here it is and the GRAND TOTAL is
£1705.88
That is just so brilliant and am shedding :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( of happiness

One word - WOW! :wow: :wow: :wow:
I never cease to be amazed by the power of Purrs to pull together when needed, I was worried that we wouldn't do as well this year as times are tough for everyone. Simply amazing :)
Mahoosive pat on the back to all involved - those who have donated, those who bid so generously and of course the auction team - Gill, Sam, Tan, Jackspratt & Maryas - three cheers! :gold stars:

Well done everyone ;D ;D That's a spectacular total! :wow: :wow:
-
that is fantastic, there were some really great items this year and thanks to all who worked so hard to achieve it!!

And if everybody rounds their payment up just a teensy teeny weeny bit then we'll make even more!
Only kidding, I know times are hard.
Thank you for organising such a fun couple of weeks. It was my first an I really enjoyed it.

So many thanks for such a wonderful result. Sorry we could not reply earlier, or get involved in the bidding on Sunday. Just as the Sunday meal (for 11 of us) was being served, the phone rang. A cat in need of help, probably RTA... So off to collect Angie then on to get the cat. Yes, it had obvious injuries, including a deep cut under his armpit down to the synovial capsule and a broken pelvis. He went straight away to the vets, and was there until Tuesday evening. Antibiotics and painkillers plus cage rest for six weeks. His favourite place is in his litter tray at the moment, not the nice soft bedding in his pen. It's so hard to see him sat there, unable to move properly yet. Fingers crossed he mends quickly.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8pQb32kEq-M/Tt35UqLNmPI/AAAAAAAAOIA/IDR8hgvCwDc/s512/DSCF2373.JPG)
He was a good boy, at the vets and gained some admirers. Only young, we estimate and the vet agrees around 8 months, he wasn't neutered on collection from the member of the public, he is now! :shify: His injury is as if he has had a shunt, and his pelvis is not square at the moment. They were not sure if he had fallen out of or off something when I queried if he had been in a road traffic incident. So he will have to spend Christmas with us, still better than crying for help in a frosty overgrown garden which he had been doing for around 24 hours previously.

OMG!!! Purrs people have done it again :wow: :wow: - all those involved in the running should be so proud - I am so lucky to be part of such an amazing community! :hug: :hug: :hug:

The cats must come first and hope he recovers fully :hug: :hug:

Aaw poor little ginger tom, hope he recovers well.
It's great to see how many people enjoyed it for the 1st time. Better than Ebay cos the money goes to the cats :Luv2: :hug:
I always get money from my mum for Christmas so I just spend it on here, so I got 2 items for her this year as it's her birthday in January.

Doesn't matter how much you spend or don't spend - £1 or £10, every little helps.
Makes me laugh on the TV when people loose and say they've had a nice day and it was the taking part that mattered - I've always thought "Yer, right!!" BUT I really believe it of the Purrs Auction. It is so much fun. :hug:
Mary

So pleased everyone had a good time on the auction. It is a lot of work getting it all organised but I think I can speak on behalf of the "team" when I say that when we see how much fun everyone has and how much money is raised it makes it all worthwhile.
I would like to take the opportunity to publicly thank all the wonderful sponsors who donated some gorgeous items .... you support really is VERY appreciated. (Don't forget to folks if there was something on the auction you really wanted but missed out on you can click on the sponsors ads at the top of the page to get through to their websites ;))
-
Oh dear, didnt we thank the sponsors :-[
So sorry sponsors, you are all great and :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

Looking forward to the next one!

Many many thanks to those that organised it, those who took part and also the all important sponsors who gifted items for the auction!
Only this morning we took in a 7 week old kitten dumped on a doorstep! >:( He has taken all day to warm up! :shocked:
It is little ones like that poor kitten taken from his Mum possibly a couple of weeks ago, and now unwanted and dumped on a doorstep until one of our fosterers stepped in and alerted me. She didn't feel confident enough to look after him, so he has been moved on a heat pad to a much more experienced lady. It is good that she let us know that she felt nervous about the responsibility of caring for such a vulnerable kitten.
-
Just to let you know it looks like the money is being topped up to £2000 by another donation!
thanks
-
My goodness that is sooooooooooooooo wonderful ;D ;D ;D
Thank you to that donor you are so very kind :hug: :hug:
-
What a wonderful gesture, and one which will be appreciated by every single one of us. ;D
Glad to hear the little doorstep kitten is in good hands. :hug:
-
Big THANK YOU to the Donator, your a Star :)
-
What a wonderful gesture ;D thank you to that generous donator whoever you are
Sending lots of :hug: :hug: to the poor little doorstep kitten, hope he does well now he's safe and :censored: to whoever dumped him >:(
