Late last night we came home to find our cat, Anna Marie, hiding under our bed, and also that she had vomited in a couple places. She was lethargic and had no interest in playing, and when i tried to pick her up, she scooted away from me further…

Okey-dokey. Here’s the deal.

My friend Grace (aka snowcoma) still desperately needs to find a long-term fosterer for her kitties. Their names are Little Owl and Edward-Cat. They are in Seattle.

Grace is in about the worst place a person can be in. She’s currently homeless, and while she has a temporary place to stay while she gets back on her feet, her cats are being boarded — extremely temporarily — at a vet’s office.

If nobody can take them, they’ll go to the shelter. We all know how overloaded shelters everywhere are. We all know what happens to adult cats in shelters. I don’t like putting it like that, but … yes. At the very least, they would be adopted by gods-know-who and she would never see them again. That’s unacceptable to me. No. That’s just unthinkable.

Grace … Grace is extremely bipolar, like me, and like me, she relies on her cats for emotional support. Being separated from them is bad enough. The prospect of having them put down and losing them forever just because life is shitty and crazy is shittier is absolutely horrific. Like, I’ve had nightmares about it level horrific.

These cats come with character references out the wazoo. Neutered, shots, etc. Get along together just fine. Basically, perfect cats.



Guys. That face.

What we need:

Help finding them a foster home, long-term would be best, but at this point, we are just trying to keep them out of kill shelters. Local to Seattle-ish would be best, but if necessary, maybe we could get them driven out somewhere else. Maybe folks could help arrange transport. Grace can be reached at: 503-568-6660. She keeps odd hours, so don’t hesitate to leave voicemail.

-and/or-

Donations to help keep them boarded at the vet’s. It’s about $28 a day for both of them. If you can donate to this, please contact ashbet. Her email address is ashbet@gmail.com. Ashbet is an amazing person, by the way, and is why they are currently in a vet’s being boarded, not in a shelter. So, thank you, babe.

I’ve posted about this before trying to get them a permanent place to stay, and the best we’ve got so far is this (very much appreciated) temporary boarding deal. We really need to make this happen. Mostly I just throw the cat halp stuff up here and say “f-list, f-list, do as you will.” This time, we need to make the magic happen. I need signal boosts on Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Livejournal, and anywhere else you can boost it. I need a fucking miracle, Internet. I’m not just trying to help a friend, I’m trying to help keep a fellow lycanthrope from losing her heart, when she has lost just about everything else a person can lose.

Nobody deserves this. Nobody. Can we please make the world just this one tiny bit less cruel?

Here’s the link again. Please spread it around.

Please spread this around, folks.

Seattle buddies
Hear this cry!
Lets get these babbies a home

I do not wish to fatigue the caring hearts of this blog’s followers, but I was wondering if I could get a signal boost for two kittens in dire need of forever homes in Sacramento? My friend rescued these three brothers who were abandoned at 3 weeks old. They will be 5 weeks on Friday, and my friend absolutely cannot keep them past this week. One kitten will have a happy home, but the new parent has said she doesn’t mind which kitten she gets, so here are all three. She called the local rescues and SPCA, and all are full. The shelter told her the kittens would be euthanized immediately because they are too young for legal adoption through them. Because she has too many pets already, my friend said she will have to take them to the shelter if she can’t find them homes. If any followers in the Sacramento area could open their home to one or two of these kittens, please contact me via my ask or my twitter (@MissLeliel). They are being weaned, but arae still young and will need deworm/vax/neutering and al the love you can give. Please help me keep these kittens from where they do not belong!

I’m not going to demand that you drop everything to look at this. I am not going to say you don’t have a heart if you don’t reblog this.

But please, if you do have the time, I would greatly appreciate it if you read this post, and perhaps considered either donating a small amount or commission me, or at the very least help to spread the word around. Because frankly I need all the help I can get right now.

This is Sebastian, one of two black cats I own. He is a siamese mix and around 3 to 4 years old, sweet, curious, fun-loving, and the biggest love bug you will ever meet. These pictures were taken not even an hour ago when I had to leave him at the vet’s office overnight.

Earlier this afternoon, Sebastian got a hold of one of my sewing needles and managed to swallow it before I could get it away from him. Being the responsible pet parent that I am, I rushed off to a 24 hour emergency care center for animals right away, and after some debate, I agreed to have them try performing an endoscope procedure to see if they can pull the needle out of his stomach as quickly and as non-invasively as possible. However, the procedure is still going to be expensive, at least $2,757.39 on the low end (if things go as well as they possibly can), and $3,241.20 on the high end.

I am really hoping it goes as well as it can, and there are no complications, because if the needle happened to tear at his insides he will need surgery. Which will no doubt add another hefty amount to his bill.

I am a young student who is unemployed, living in a tiny studio apartment with a roommate and surviving off of what money my mother can give me.

Even with the Care Credit I qualified for, which lets me pay the amount interest free over a 6 month period, that still means I need to fork out at least $300 extra dollars a month to pay his bill on time.

So friends, fandom followers, fellow Tumblrites, I need help. If you are capable of donating any amount you can afford, please, I gladly welcome it. If you would prefer, I am also taking small art commissions. I don’t have much uploaded on Tumblr, but please refer to my art tag for some examples of the art skill I possess.

Commissions will be done in a bust/upper body shots, since that is where I am most confident and will be more able to turn out pictures as fast as I can.

Pricing is as follows:

Pencil sketch - $4

Ink + Color - $6

Each additional character to the picture will be an extra $1

Money can be directed to my PayPal account at DrSl33pyp4n7s@gmail.com, and I will be working to get a donation button on my page soon enough.

I will draw any character, any fandom, any paring, het, slash, WHATEVER YOU WANT as long as it remains under a PG-13 rating. Sex is hard to draw.

Please, please, my animals are like my children! It pains me to think of living without them, it would literally feel like the death of a child. I am not ready to live without this sweet and loving boy in my life just yet.

If you cannot donate, I humbly ask you just spread this around as much as you can, tell other people who you know that might be interested that I am taking commissions and direct them to my Ask or my Submit boxes.

Normally I am quite resourceful and I am able to take care of things myself, but this time around the situation has gotten out of my financial reach… I appreciate and I am thankful for whatever help I can get!

((You guys, this is what happened to me today. My eyes are red from crying, I am so stressed and worried. And it’s already been a very stressful week…

Please, followers, consider helping me out, either by reblogging and spreading the word, donating, or commissioning me.

I would appreciate it so endlessly much, and you would have my gratitude. This boy is like my son, and it’ll kill me if I can’t give him the procedures he needs.))

I’m feeling generous today, so I’ll be glad to give away one of my steampunk super heart necklaces free to one person who reblogs this!
The rules are the usual: You can only reblog once, no creating fake accounts. It has to be a reblog; likes do not count. You have to be willing to surrender your address in order for me to mail it to you. And I’ll decide at the end of April who gets the heart. :3 
Edit: Since so many people are asking where they can get one, I thought I’d bring light to the fact that the “source” link will take you to my Etsy shop where you can purchase one, if you’re interested. Thank you guys for all the reblogs. I’m pretty much stunned.

I’m sorry I haven’t posted in so long!  It’s almost exam week at school, and I’ve been stressing out like nobody’s business, (especially since it’s my senior year).  

Speaking of stress, did you know being under a lot of pressure (pushing down on me! pushing down on you!) can mess with your looks?  I noticed last week that my hair dye was fading even faster than usual.  Not cool, especially when your natural hair color is significantly different from your color of choice.  Even less cool if you don’t have the money to dash to the salon to fix your usually maintained mane.

Thankfully, home hair colors are available that are both easy to apply and easy to buy.  My secret weapon? Revlon Colorsilk, amazingly available for around $3.00 at my local Walmart.

(My preferred color!  Image from luux.com).

Be advised, however, that there are a few disadvantages to it being so cheap:  the gloves are pretty big and clumsy, and the conditioner included does not work as well as the ones included in more expensive hair dyes, (in my experience).  Just work some of your usual conditioner in if little packet included just doesn’t cut it!  

All in all, this brand does an amazing job of transforming my blah mousy brown locks into exotic ebony tresses.  For three dollars, I can afford to get a little stressed out!

To dyeing without dying when you see the receipt,

Brooke
