In Memory of Tristan



My mom's cat had to be put down today. After performing a biopsy, the vet discovered that poor Trissy had cancer, so my mom decided to have him put to sleep rather than prolong his suffering. Although he was only ten, I think Tris had a good life. He was certainly loved and filled a special place in all our hearts. I know my whole family is going to miss him terribly.

In memory of Tristan, I'd like to post a link I've been meaning to post for weeks. I first saw it on [livejournal.com profile] mangst's LJ and wanted to include it among my other links. The Animal Rescue Site provides food to animal shelters throughout the States. By clicking on the purple "Fund Food for Animals" button, you can help fund this program. Each click is tallied by the site servers. When you reach the "Thank You" page (after clicking on the purple button), you are shown some ads from the site sponsors. That's all there is to it. So, in memory of Tristan (or any pet you may have lost), click that purple button!

Now, I realize that some of the more cynical people on my flist probably think this is a scam, but, as far as I can tell, it's legit. In any case, I'm going to include the URL with my links. I'll probably also post the link for The Literacy Site, as literacy is an issue that's close to my heart. Oh, and at some point, I'll try to dig up some Canadian equivalents for these sites.

My condolences on the loss of Tristan. *hugs* Promoting the Rescue Site seems a wonderful way to remember him. I'll click today in his honor.

As for the Rescue Site, I'm sure it's possible that it is a scam, but I doubt it. They do not ask for any personal information, and I have not got any spam emails that I could link back to them. And I have bought items from their sponsors without any problems (it is not necessary to purchase anything, I rarely do). As far as I can tell they get sponsors to donate food and such in return for advertising space and a countable audience for those ads (us).

I'm sorry for the loss of Tristan. My heart goes out to you and your family during this sad time. My family lost our beloved dog, Jade, two years ago now, and we still miss her very much.

I think letting us know about the Rescue Site is a great way to honour Tristan having been loved and a part of your family. I'll definitely be adding the link to my bookmark list so I can try to click on it regularly.

Sorry to hear about this. What a wonderful name for a cat - Tristran (well, it's a wonderful name for anyone - but particularly a cat). Love your icon ....
