Fundraising project for The Happy Cat fire tragedy..

Read on. This from my Facebook post. It’s particularly close to my heart, because it’s very close to where Mrs C lives & she’s hands on helping these poor animals.
You might say who gives a fck about American cat? Well, I do & if I can make any success of this, I will be inspired to get active again locally. Tons of my art prints here, just waiting to be useful.. here goes, my own words. I don’t do begging bowls & buckets. I offer a hopefully nice art product to sell & keep. Anyone is welcome to post news links in the comments. I have seen too much for today..
Message me on this page, if you want to help.


Prints are done. If you missed last weeks post, I have made these to help with fundraising following the tragic fire at Happy Cat Rescue Santuary, Suffolk County, Long Island NY. A week ago..

The brave founder Chris Arsenault lost his life, after repeatedly going back into the burning building to save the cats in his care. Many of whom also sadly perished. An estimated 200 of the 300 survived thanks to Chris & local animal rescues. Expert rescue people & volunteers are still busy rounding up the loose, terrified animals. A makeshift sanctuary has been established to treat the injured. Some very seriously, but hopefully get as many back to health as possible & ready for adoption.

It is truly heartbreaking..

I have a very dear friend there locally. & I know she will be doing all she can to help. I also had to do something, so I ordered a new print edition of this old drawing. Collected them earlier today.

It is an edition of 300, one for every cat in Chris’ care at the time of the tragedy.
Most (200) will be sent directly to Strong Island Animal Rescue League for fundraising. I’m holding the rest back, to cover printing & courier costs & try to make extra funds to donate.

A4, high quality prints on recycled paper. Signed & numbered.
£20 each/£25 overseas. £15 for each multiple copy.

The original pencil drawing belongs to Nick Jones of the band Manic Street Preachers, a commissioned birthday gift from his Mam.

Please message me or comment below if you would like to help & share this post as wide as possible.
Thanks.

 

Wow. That bombed like a big bomb made out of bombs.
Even Barnsley folk are too busy licking their own social arses
Who gives a toss, right.? Is it any wonder that this page is only left with the same sad old desperate dregs..?
I’m not helping my charity campaign, am I?
Nay bother, I will do it alone..

 

I'll have one Mr C - only just seen this.

 

been on the pop again?


What you've done is a very worthy cause. Can't fault you. However you've completely destroyed your fundraising effort by bizarrely slagging off and insulting the people you've asked to help you and called them "sad old desperate dregs" who are too busy licking their own arses just because you didn't get any replies in the first hour and an half of making a post when many people will have been travelling home from work and having their dinner.

I hope your fundraising is successful. It's a horrible story and all power to you and anyone else doing whatever they can to try to help but come on, you cant think ranting and raving at people for no reason at all is the right way to go about getting them to give you money

 

Weird that you would go asking these "dregs" for help.

 

There's another way to look at this though Mr C. What about the firefighters who could have died trying to save the guy who perished?
An ex colleague of mine died, along with another would be rescuer, trying to save a little girl in a frozen lake. He left a wife and family. Why was the girl on the ice? Trying to reach her dog!
Two families destroyed because of,,,,,,,a dog.

 

You go mind your own business. Anonymous.. fcking ell.

 

I remember that, tragic.

 

What other way to look at it? Why fcking change the subject. It’s always ALWAYS me me me. On this stupid page. Last thing anyone can tell me is ‘what to do’ with my projects.
I make more money for charities than I am able to make for myself. & it batters me financially, emotionally etc.
So, engage if you want. But never, ever tell me about how to go about my life & my interests.

 

Tell me when it happened.? I will tell you. 7 days ago..

 

I meant the drowning at Hemsworth water park that @Tonjytyke mentioned.

 

I always think insulting the people you're asking for help definitely works.

Definitely.

 

I tend to agree on this occasion. I don't mind the charity or fundraising type posts. Have been helped out in the past and have reciprocated.
But today, after a particularly long and crappy day (which I won't go into) I'm only just getting through the posts of today, and sadly this time I won't be engaging.

Good luck etc, and well done for initially meaning well.

 

I assume it’s the one at Kinsley about 25 years ago

 

As one of the dregs on here I'm currently watching the pennies in case I need to fund my partner Susan's dementia care but having only just seen this as I've been visiting her more often because she's been lucid these past few precious days I certainly wouldn't after your outburst. Still wish you good luck though

 

What a flounce what a crank!
Let’s post something and because I don’t get a bite 2 hrs later I’ll come on and abuse everyone, too many Special Brews in the sun?

 

This from probably the most self absorbed person in the history of the BBS is really quite something.

Every post you make is about something you’ve done, how great you think you are at it, how you could have done better, selling something etc.

Post like that if you want, i really don’t care, but to do that for years and then post what you have here is ******* hilarious.

 

I think you need to read my post again. It's perfectly clear what I have said and, more importantly, what I haven't said (which is the part you seem to take exception to)
