Good golly, you could knock me over with a whisker right now. I need to gather my wits, stop sobbing like a big old baby, dance a little dance with a few lady-cats, make a few calls, and I'll be back to tell you how amazing you are for making this happen. Please pat yourselves on the back, because you are awesome!
WE LOVE YOU! THANK YOU FRIENDS!!!!
Whoo Hoo!! Go Team IBKC!!! good job to everyone!!
ReplyDeletebig thanks to Orpheus' human who was so generous in her grief.
ReplyDeleteDont worry I am crying a little too. Today was a very challenging day today in the child welfare world and seeing this made my day better. thank you again for everything you do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to start off a weekend! And I will note that the total when we went over the top was $40,000.05 so it was Opal's $1.05 that did it!
ReplyDeleteSO happy to hear this. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sobbing too. I can't wait to see the difference these funds make!
ReplyDeleteHUGS to you, Laurie, the Bean and the kittens & Craig.
Laurie, I am so happy. Today is a very challenging day in general, and this is a nice place to see that in the midst of it all there is kindness and generosity toward the very bittyest among us.
ReplyDeleteAmazing what a band of feline lovers can accomplish together. Should we work on world peace next?
ReplyDeletesob sob sob. and lots of hugs.
ReplyDeleteI know the money is for the kitties, but SNOOPY DANCE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteForty Squillion!!!!!! Happy Dance, Happy Dance! That would be me. Kodiak and Kenai are less impressed and are both snoozing in the sun. I'll celebrate the good news with them later with kitty treats.
ReplyDeleteAnd my sister raised another $608 with bake sales at her work. Going to the general Dogathon (puppies need help too). My baking, her sales ability.LOL
ReplyDeleteProud to donate to the kittehs too. Alot of cats are going to have a better life thanks to this community!
Love you all! Every single one of you who stepped forward to say you cared and wanted to make a difference for the kitties. (sobbing happy tears)
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the power of kittens and a determined Bean! Yay!
ReplyDeleteYou may love us, IBKC, but not half as much as we groupies love you!!!!! So Very Well Done. Keep it coming, it's not as if it's not needed even if it is more than 40 squillion!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing fundraising effort! It really warms my heart to virtually meet so many other people who care so much about pets.
ReplyDeleteWell done, IBKC team!
@Anonymous-
ReplyDeleteThank you. Orpheus was a wonderful and much beloved semi-feral. I got the math wrong in my comment though- he was twelve, I'd had him for eleven years, seven of those as an indoor cat. He died quite unexpectedly yesterday morning, from what the vet is guessing was cardiomyopathy. He was a wonderful, dignified, and noble cat. I'm glad to help in the rescue of others, however I can, and it helps me to do something constructive in my sorrow at losing such a great part of my life.

Miss Kitty Fantastico doesn't get what the celebrating's about, actually (she's not even two months old yet and still doesn't understand why I take away her poop in crinkly bags), but if she did I know she'd be happy.
And I can only hope, as an also-dog-lover, that the puppies get even half the generosity for the Dog-a-thon that the kittens got!
wow! concatulations!
ReplyDeleteYay kitties! Yay us! I can't wait to see what the HS does with the squillions.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo!!!! Yay for the kitties!!!! I can't wait to see what they will do with 40 Squillion!
ReplyDeleteGood thing everyone around me on the commuter bus was asleep, because I had tears of joy dribbling down my cheeks when I read this on my Blackberry!!
ReplyDelete\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\';[ (that's Chloe the kitty typing yippee!)
My refresh key can now rest in peace!
ReplyDeleteThis fills me with joy. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWowza! Way to go!!!
ReplyDeleteWhooo hoooo!!! Doing a happy dance! Congrats. It is so nice to see hard work going toward helping the cats and kittens.
ReplyDeleteSUCCESS! GO IBKC!!!
ReplyDeletehuzzah! But I'm feeling a little sorry for the goggies who need help too...40 squillion is such a large amount, maybe a leetle could go to help them too?
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo! So glad to see the world is finally starting to get "it". We have to take care of the helpless among us.
ReplyDelete"To the victors go the spoils"...And I hope every kitty whose life is saved by the amazing work of this community live their lives fully spoiled! *tearful, joyful* My life would be tremendously boring had it not been for the little orange boy I brought home from Laurie's house 2 years ago. Thank you Laurie, Craig, Bean, and team for gifting us with the privilege of sharing these little lives and making the world a happier place.
ReplyDeleteWow - I lost track of all the allocations but the cinderella fund and 'Drewey' fund will help a whole buncha kitties.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all y'all for helping the fluffers out!
My two floofies are being treated with their own sparkle balls and tuna to celebrate. YAY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteno you are! awesome ;)
ReplyDeleteSuper-congratulations to you - and thank you so much for all your effort.
