Could I be counted out please? not wanting to be nasty, but Ron is the recipient for my X Mas card money this year, so he is already getting more than that from me on top of the auction. And I am hoping to send Dawn some money this week too.
Please spay your cat

good suggestion I pledge my fiver too. Happy to transfer online if there is an account to pay to.

I have already committed rather a large amount of money to a cat rescue so I cannot pay more at the moment.

I was going to suggest that we contribute to an emergency care fund especially for very urgent cases where there is a threat of PTS imminant but maybe that would be too much just before xmas .

Hi Claire,

Yes, I was thinking preparatory to the auction......Well I wasn't thinking very hard about how to achieve it to be honest, but most of us have a credit card or can transfer funds via our bank, so that was the idea.

Last year we sent our money directly to the recipients for items bought, but should we have wished to make a donation as well, we would have sent it directly to the recipient also.....this year we could just add a little extra (a fiver) for Tan's site.....in recognition of the fact that Ron was the reason for Tan and her husband setting up this site so quickly.? Tan would not dream of asking for anything in return but I know she would be chuffed to bits if we made loads more money for lovely Ron and all his poorly little cats....

I know I can count on you Claire (me ol' partner in plonkership)? :)

Ela, I must have missed your post... I'll have a look at the topic and find your suggestion of donation.

I am so happy that there are so many nice and kind people like you.

Am I right in thinking you mean not bidding for an item, just sending ?5 or more?)

I think this is as well as the auction, then again what do I know.

I'll be away for holidays in December. Although I very much like to take part in the auction, I am afraid I won't be able to make it.... So to give a fiver for this site or to Ron would be a lot easier for me...

Someone has to collect the money and just post a link or email me the address, I'll do my bit :-)

To be fair ?5 to some people may be a lot of money, please remember that there are many on here already in rescue and to them every penny counts. So I personally don't think we should absolutely stipulate ?5 or more.

Count me in. If someone can instruct as to how to pledge rather than bid...

Thanks guys but I note that we now have 188 members which, if we all pledged just a simple little fiver, would really get the auction off to a flying start...

Yesterday I posted somewhere that if 20 folks gave just ?1, I would match it and donate ?20. That could be for people who cannot afford ?5.

Hi everyone,

I've just had a thought.? In recognition of how wonderful Tan and Mr Tan and Sneakie et al have worked to get this site under way for us all so quickly, perhaps we could all pledge a fiver towards the auction......just for this site alone.

What do ya think?? (More if you can afford it....all proceeds to Ron)
