Please help Miranda, Bertha Venation's lovely cat.

[Dogtown]

I'm sure all have heard that BV's cat Miranda (AKA Ratface) was seriously injured recently.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8811995

With the Emergency fees, surgery and hospital costs her bills are already in excess of $1500. There will probably be some hefty after-care and prescription costs added to that.

Anyone wishing to help can donate via PayPal in the name of "[e-mail]".

EDIT: linked removed because OP can't do stuff right sometimes...

Please keep this kicked, and THANKS, DU!

1. The Paypal link does not seem to be working?

[Dogtown]

2. It worked for me

PayPal is a little twitchy, IMO. I'll try the link again...


It links to the "Send Money" page. On the left hand side is a "TO:/FROM:" menue. Type BV's email addy in the top, your's in the bottom, and the amount. It will open another page asking for your payment information.

Sorry if you already got there on your own. I just found it a bit confusing too; hence, the stepXstep.

Thanks for your comment.

3. When I try the link, it brings me to a Paypal page that says...

Sorry — your last action could not be completed

[suninvited]

6. For me too

but you can copy the address and go to paypal.com and sign in and do it that way.

[Dogtown]

7. OOPS!

Hope I haven't eft this up.

If you don't mind, LFP, could you try this link:
EDIT: another dead link removed. dammit!

Thanks for your help.

10. Does not work...I had to sign into paypal directly. n/t

5. Hold on...I'll try that. n/t

4. Many of us are violently allergic to Paypal (but not to kitties)

especially us old-timers who recall the Andy Stephenson fiasco.

Any other payment options for us?

[Dogtown]

9. PM Bertha Venation

She'll give you a snailmail addy.

She should be around soon, I've been too mired to notify her yet.

[LeftyFingerPop]

8. Done. Thanks, Dogtown. n/t

[Dogtown]

11. I want to make sure

I'm not misdirecting or frustrating anyone.

Did you sign into PayPal from the Home Page to access? If so, I'll edit appropriately.

[LeftyFingerPop]

12. Yes, I went to paypal.com and logged in and hit "send money"...

and typed in her email addy.

[Dogtown]

14. I appreciate your help

with my ineptitude and with Bertha's kitty.

Thanks again.
