Petie |
One of the blessings of being a nationally recognized cat blogger, are the fellow cat bloggers I have formed friendships with over time. We meet online and then in person at related pet conferences and become closer friends, stay in touch, and visit one another and the friendship continues to flourish. Our love for cats of course bonds us. One such friend is Tamar Arslanian, whom some of you may follow her blog,
I Have Cat.
Tamar is not only a cat blogger and friend, but a generous person. She has helped many good people in need of a little help when their cats were gravely ill or if a dumped or neglected cat needed a home. She does not hesitate to help and fully immerses her time, talent and heart without hesitation.
Well this time, I learned my friend needs help. She never asked for it. But I noticed Tamar was unusually quiet across communications and when I inquired, I discovered that her beloved cat Petie has a mass pressing onto his chest cavity and lungs. After countless exams, scans, etc. the decision to remove it is extremely delicate and dangerous. Nonetheless her vet bills have avalanched to $3,800. We've all been there.

Having left her corporate job, but still living in New York City, following her passion for cats and doing freelance projects does not equate to excess income.
If you recall, Tamar helped me last year with the Christmas auction to raise funding for Roger, the Miami Le Chat Noir. This was around the Christmas season and so you can imagine she worked long hours. All to benefit a special needs black cat. She gained nothing personally, only the satisfaction to help us raise money and pay the vet bill with ease of mind so we can focus our energies on caring/nurturing for a very sick cat back to health.
My fellow cat guardians and lovers, if you can spare a few dollars to help a devoted cat blogger to all things cat,
here is the link. It includes copies of the vet bill.
This would be a wonderful Valentine gesture of love to a fellow cat lover and guardian.
Thank you to our generous readers. It will be returned tenfold one day. Karma!
