A "go fund me" for Siwsan?

Could someone smarter that me start a fund for her Kitty collective?
I would love to kick in a few dollars. The Kitties are so cute and I would love to help a bit. I know she didn't ask for help but that doesn't stop me from wishing I could.

I live an extremely simple and frugal life.

People might consider donating to their local rescue shelters, either with money or bags/cans of food.

I do, anyway, but, will add extra in honor of your rescues. 😻

And, if anything changes, and a need should arise, I want you to promise we will be the first to know.

Some days the little furkids might need some extra care.
There may be some 'nips and tucks' in their future. But whatever you say Siwsan. You're the Boss.

On Edit... sorry Siwsan, That didn't come out right on the page.
I mean I will do just as you ask. I just wanted to help and managed to put my foot in it again. Cheers.

If they aren't spayed and neutered, they will keep on reproducing.

I would be happy to help, Siwsan, if you ever need us. Perhaps we could send you a bottle of wine, or two. You know for those relaxing times we all need. 😇

Same thing I proposed some weeks ago, & Siwsan respectfully declined.

Since she has declined, I think I'll make a donation to my local shelter in her name.

Should I do an OP with that idea?
