   13 barn owls in a trenchcoat (hauntedowlbear@eldritch.cafe)'s status on Tuesday, 31-Mar-2026 05:00:46 JST 13 barn owls in a trenchcoat

   We hit a milestone in the GoFundMe @gemsmoke and I set up to help bring their pets to live with us France.

   I'm going to quote a bit of the news below, and ask if you could please share the following link, particularly if you're on social networks other than fedi to help us bring them home before flight prices rise for summer.

   Hello everyone, and thank you so much for all your help in getting Buster, Annie and Ghost on their way to join us in France. We've hit a major milestone!

   Thanks to all of you who've contributed to this GoFundMe, plus sales of albums (https://1351.bandcamp.com/album/fragments-and-shatter/) and zines, we've got all three animals fully up-to-date with theirr vaccines and microchips, at a cost of $523.06.

   Record-breaking ice storms and snowfall in New Jersey means that getting the animals to the vet happened later than we'd have liked, so we're now scrambling to book flights before the summer ticket price rise.

   From our writing, transcription and translation work since we set this GFM up some seven (!) weeks ago, we've managed to save another 880€.

   The vet is still holding onto the processing fee for our furry friends' travel permit, but we still need to get an estimate for their final pre-travel checkup - I'm mentally assuming $300 (we'll get that estimate ASAP).

   If we were to book flights right now, we'd be looking at a cost of 1193€ for us and an estimated 300€ for the animals

   That means we're still looking to raise around 900€. Money saved from our earnings mean that's less than our original GoFundMe estimate of 2000€.

   We're also making contingency plans in case we can't get everything funded and booked in time. Hanging onto the money is fine - we can afford to live and have a dedicated account to save it in - but that would look as us travelling in October in order to get cheap air fees again.
