Don’t Fall for “Sick Cat” Phishing

Just a reminder that if someone you don’t know suddenly sends you a message asking for help paying vet fees for their sick pet, it’s almost certainly a scam. Don’t give them your money! And make sure to report them to Tumblr for phishing:

click the meatball menu for “report”

select “report something else”

select “unlawful uses or content”

select “phishing”

I am seriously so saddened to realize people have used my name and my cat to steal money from some of you. This is crazy, never, ever did I think that my Poppy would be used negatively.

Let’s give a little rundown of who we are. I’m Michelle, a 30-something year old married mama to 3 skin kittens, and 3 fuzzy kittens. One of my skin kittens is an adult, the other two are rapidly approaching attempting to leave the nest. I am disabled, physically and mentally which leads to emotionally, too. My fuzzy kittens help a lot with that.

2 summers ago, a friend texted me asking if I wanted a kitten. Of course I did. Then I found out she was a feral kitten that her mama had left behind because her one back leg was missing a foot, so she couldn’t climb and jump like the rest of the kittens were, and she was getting too heavy to carry in her mouth. That kitten now only have 3 legs, and is my Lucky baby.

Come early February of the next year, I saw on a friend’s aunts rescue site two of the most gorgeous little calico kittens I had ever seen. I claimed them before Valentine’s Day, even though I wouldn’t be able to get them until after Mother’s Day since they were slow to grow. They were attached at the hip, there was no way I could get one and not the other. Those were my Poppy girl and Millie moon.

That’s how I ended up with my fuzzy kittens. They are the best fuzzy kittens I have ever met. All 3 of them have a different job in calming me and my middle daughter down while in emotional crisis. Poppy is and has always been that calming rumble that you try to concentrate on instead of everything else that is happening. And it works more than anyone would believe.

Poppy is sick. My go fund me has all the explanations and updates you could ever need; I even have to add the email with the vet when she gets a chance to email back to me. I have endless pictures and videos to show she is my little love.

Please, if you can, share this post anywhere and everywhere, across all forms of social media. My follower numbers are so low, I’m surprised it’s not a negative number. I know a bunch of you got scammed, and I’m sorry. I really am. If I could make it better, I would.

Myself, I’ve even cut back some of my less essential but still needed medications so I have the money to get Poppy the treatment she deserves. I just need my baby girl to be better. It’s time sensitive because we honestly don’t know how much time she has left with her red blood cell count being in the low 10s percent wise (I think it was 13-14% last time, and it should be above 35). I am extremely transparent in what I show you all because if you are helping pay for it, I figure you have a right to see where the care is going and what it’s being used for.

We are trying to get the maximum amount of funding so we can get all the testing done because the liver and spleen are just as important as the bone marrow biopsy, but we will not look a gift horse in the mouth. Whatever we get it, it’s another cent that we didn’t have to scrounge around to find, another minute off the ever clicking clock.

Best ways to donate: to the hospital itself:

The Gofundme. It is the *only* go fund me I have up. Anything else is a scam.

My email is listed below, and I am willing to answer any and all questions via email or on here, your choice.

Thank you so much for helping. It means everything to us.

I just donated (I couldn’t donate 200 because they took like a 28$ more on top of that so i did 170 instead sorry)

You do not need to apologize for that. It is incredibly generous. Thank you so very much. This is going to be such a big help. You do not know what a relief this has been to get some help. I am someone that doesn't ask for help. I felt like a failure asking for it. To be greeted with such kindness has done me good.

Thank you anon.

i cant even properly explain how it emotionally affects me when my cat comes up to me for cuddles. small creature walks up to me, a giant, in search of a gentle touch, because he trusts me completely. that is what love is. that is what the universe is built for. i want to cry

I keep forgetting how to paint… to remind myself today I did a study of @pangur-and-grim's animal Belphegor, the saddest oldest kitten in the world.

I love Jamil just outright refusing to eat the food and then you have Kalim suffering in silence and eating because he's too nice

Anyone given their cat prednisolone before? This is the first time giving him a steroid and it does seem to be helping with his upper respiratory infection but WOW does his urine stink. Normally it doesn’t smell bad bc I have an automatic box but right now the entire room where the box is located reeks, and I can instantly tell if he got any on him or not by how he smells. It’s bad.

Just wondering is anyone else had the same experience.

What’s the best iPhone app for water marks? And how would be the best way to watermark them? With my email, since they have no issues stealing my name? Does anyone legally know anything about this? So I can start trying to watermark every single thing Poppy related that’s public.

But meanwhile, I’ve tagged a ton of Philly news stations. Maybe they will pick up the story on her scamming and she can get better.

I am really sick of every few minutes finding a *new* scammer with poppy’s face and illness.
