A quick note on my ebay auctions and update on things here at the shelter. I have many items listed on ebay and will be listing almost daily up through the end of November which will be my cut-off for getting items out to people for Christmas. I have some very nice jewelry which is brand new and below retail prices, I really need to get these sold, I offer refunds on these if not completely satisfied. They truly are very nice, good quality gemstones, etc. The funds from these auctions will pay for food for the animals, pay vet bills, etc. and right now, since the home most likely will be pulled out of here, I have got to get the cattery done so I will have a place to put all of the cats when the home is removed, they will have to be out of the way when this thing is moved out, along with moving all of the ferrets elsewhere temporarily. As many of you know, my home was damaged badly last year from the hurricanes, I have been trying to get help with repairs or replacement for over a year, not sure of what I was going to do. I have recently been contacted (finally) by an agency that helps out. They will visit on Thursday and most likely I will qualify for some help in replacing the home. This one is just too old and repair cost would be way too high for the age of the home. If I qualify, it could still be quite a bit of time before it's actually done, but hopefully it will be in the next 6 months.Therefore I need to raise funds not only for the daily things that are needed here at the shelter, but to also finish building the outdoor cattery & I will have to move the ferrets to another location until the new home is brought in. This past year has been hell for me and I still have a long road ahead of me, I have my every day shelter chores, plus boxing things to store, still trying to do ebay and every other little thing that seems to want to pop up every day to bug me. Please take a look at my auctions and keep checking, I will be adding items all of the time through the end of November.
