Secret Santa Needed - Where to Find One?

How do I get a Secret Santa to send a robbery victim a replacement item?

Someone had their prized possession stolen from them and without it they cannot function. They are devastated as this was their only way to transport rescue cats.

How do I find a Secret Santa to send them an exact replica of the one that was stolen?

Emails to the company have not yielded any responses thus far.

msconduct that is awesome.

why on earth would anyone steal that? A thief who enjoys transporting animals? I cant imagine the black market value on a used cat carriers is too high.

Response by poster: Wow. This is really awesome msconduct. It will be an extremely secret santa. Promise. Will memail the details. God bless you for helping out with this.

ian1977 - who indeed? Needless to say what goes around come around. All this person wants is to be able to transport animals to and from vets for urgent medical care. Unfortunately due to the robbery a lot of the rescue work has been put off. Hopefully it can resume once again thanks to a kind and compassionate person here.

Have you contacted the vet's office to see if they have a loaner until the carrier can be replaced?

msconduct, I don't know you, but I now officially love you.

Perhaps they didn't realise what it was, and thought it might be valuable.

I once had someone break into my car and steal a bag containing... half a cake.
