Pounce's Fundraiser

Question:

There is so much irrelevant noise on this newsgroup from time to time that I can’t see where that’s the point at all.  Why was her request "inappropriate"? Perhaps there is a caveat about fundraising in the charter. I don’t recall.

indeed.  While not wishing to have a pop at Rachel, I’m always amazed that people take on animals, and then can’t afford to look after them properly.     Personally, I have insurance on our eight cats – it costs me about
