Not pointing any fingers, but I’ve been told I’m ‘begging’ by sharing a fundraising page, asking for help.

Is there somewhere appropriate for such a post?

I’ve searched high and low, eventually opting for communities where it (to me) made sense to post.

    r/assistance is a good starting place. There is also a subreddit dedicated to gofundme campaigns, r/GoFundMe. It may also be worth contacting the mods of r/Aww and r/Cats to see if they’ll allow the post. The worst they can do is say no.

    The biggest thing is to make sure to carefully read the rules of any subreddit you may post on to ensure you aren’t breaking any of them. If there’s any ambiguity or concern, reach out to the mods with questions first.

      Really appreciate your response Cujo, thank you. I’ve asked my partner to post over on reddit and she’s posted it to r/assistance. I’ll ask her to reach out to the mods of r/aww and r/cats too.

      We might have made a mistake somewhere, as the r/assistance post was removed. Also r/cats and r/aww don’t allow GoFundMe posts. She’s going to r/GoFundMe next.

      Good news though, we’re just about to surpass £2k!

      Thanks again Cujo.
