I thought I would post this here, as people on the group would understand instead of telling me to spend $60 and adopt a shelter cat (like my massage therapist). Not that there is anything wrong with that, just that my family and I have always adopted/fostered and my current cat was a stray... It would just be nice to have a Savannah for a change you know?
Anyway, I bought a new car a few months ago, and with it came the new car pmt, insurance and gas... So I had my monthly "fun money" greatly reduced. I HAD to have a Savannah though, so I found a way to come up with an extra $2000-$3500. I became an egg donor!
Good way to pay off a few misc bills as well...
I went thru all their testing, they put me on some pills, I have put up with the bloating, food cravings, mood swings etc. just keeping in mind it will all be worth it soon! I had an F3 Savannah kitten picked out, put down my deposit.... I had my donor calendar and we were set for the procedure at the end of the month. I had my appointment scheduled for early this morning for my last follow up before injections, and I got an email yesterday afternoon. Email said hey I'm sorry but we have to cancel your cycle for now.... Our embryology dept has made a new rule that only proven, previous donors can contribute to our egg bank, so now we have to wait and find you a match before you can go into our bank....
I was so upset.... I only had a few weeks left!! What the heck is that?? And to add insult to injury, I contacted my other donor databases (I am in several) to let them know to re-activate me, and the one in CA told me they had gotten a couple inquiries about me!!!! NOOOOO! They turned them away because I was working with the other place........ And the one in CA pays an extra $2000 plus all expenses paid trip and a daily food/entertainment stipend for a week! I was sooo mad!!!!! I could have been having a great experience elsewhere, had my money for the kitty I loved, and everything would have been lovely. Not gonna lie, I cried a little at my desk....
I guess I'm pouting a little, but talk about disappointing!!
Now I have to wait. Again. Hoping someone picks me soon, it could take a week or 2, or months... You just never know. Things sound promising with the place in CA but we will see, it's just not something you can predict.
I really felt like an ahole too, as I had to tell the breeder what happened. She is a wonderful lady, and I just feel like an ass for not coming thru. And I was kind of attached to the kitty even though I hadn't met her (thankfully) but I had my heart set on her.
I guess this will all teach me not to count on anything. Anything can happen at anytime.... Eventually I will get my Savannah. Hard to be patient though and see all the cute pictures! Arrggg...
