confoozled.com - spare change for a kitty in need?

I received an e-mail from my good friend Len this morning. He had this to say:

What I am about to relate is among the hardest of hard things I have had to ask over the last year. Many times I have come to the aid of others during my life; yet, when I must ask for help such as this, I squirm.

This request is not about me. It is on behalf of one who quietly stole my heart away years ago, and who has placed in my hands a trust more precious than words can express. She trusts me to keep her safe, and to make decisions that will determine the quality of her life. There is no responsibility more sacred than the protection and nurturing of a living creature or person.

I learned several weeks ago that Gata is in need of dental work. The vets tell me it is not an emergency, but should be attended to promptly. The sooner she is treated, the greater the chance of preserving her teeth. Because the needs are complex, my vet recommended a dental specialist.

Now the hard part. I need your help. This will cost between $1,000 and $1,500 before it is said and done. I will cover part of this, but as much as it pains me, I cannot cover it all. What ever you can donate to this cause is sincerely appreciated. I can reimburse you once I am again gainfully employed.

If you can possibly spare any amount, no matter how small, to help Len's kitty get the care she needs, please donate through PayPal. Gata, Len, and all of us who love them, would be forever grateful!
