Hello there! 😞 I have a huge favor to ask and I know it’s kinda inappropriate, please consider sharing/boosting the post I pinned for my cat. Would definitely be a big help, also pls answer this ask privately or maybe pm me instead. I hope its okay, pls be safe <3<3

I'm not going to answer privately because this is so very obviously a scam </3

hate to break the news. but. it's a scam.

they only have a few posts on your blog, all of which had been reblogged within the hour. they sent this and only then immediately followed me. the VAST MAJORITY of "donation" campaigns or whatever you call them are scams, especially when they 1) are medical (check), 2) message random tumblr users (check), 3) blog has only been recently made (all evidence points to that as well). etc etc etc.

scams like these intentionally use a genuine or shy tone when they reach out to people, to make them seem more like real people, and less like they're Trying to get money but instead asking because they have no other choice. this is a lie. they also reblog a bunch of posts to make it seem like they are a real blog.

I'm sure there's more but i am not the most eloquent person.

please please my friends and followers. do not fall for these sorts of scams. they're only playing on your compassion and empathy, which is frankly absolutely disgusting and horrible.

look out for the warning signs, and be careful online.
