Diabetic Cats in Need is taking part in a popularity contest for the opportunity to win up to $1500 in surgical services from Helping Hands, a low-cost veterinary surgical center in Richmond VA. Some DCIN foster and adopted kitties have had their dentals done there, and having a credit at the center would be AWESOME!

There is no registration or profile sharing to be able to vote. Just click on this page and choose to vote for Diabetic Cats in Need (scroll down to see the choices). You can vote once/daily from an ISP, so you may have several opportunities/day to vote with your home computer, your work computer, and your mobile device.

Voting goes through June 16. DCIN is up against some very tough competition. Please share this request to vote with your social networks. (You can link your friends to the announcements on DCIN's Facebook Events page or our blog page.) You can put it on your electronic calendar to email/remind you once/day to vote.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

I voted last night so it won't let me vote again until later. I'm going to try voting once a day.
 
Voting complexities--

Go to this page.

Scroll about half way down.

If you see a list of rescues/shelters with radio buttons next to the names, you have not voted in the past 24 hours from the ISP you are using. Please click the radio button next to DCIN's name then scroll down a bit more and click the submit button.

If, on the other hand, you don't see radio buttons but you see the voting results, you have voted from the ISP you are using within the past 24 hours. Only one vote from each ISP is allowed every 24 hours. But you can vote from multiple ISPs.

Important to remember that condition. I voted last night, but then this morning it wouldn't let me. The clock seems to not go by calendar date, but by a 24 hour timer of sorts. Compared to other contests like this that I've voted on, this seems to be a much more secure way of taking "vote fraud" out of the equation. Kudos to the guy or gal who programmed it.
If anyone lives in a city that has a free wifi spot every block, though, you could probably vote twenty times on your way to work. Just sayin' :lol:
 
Bump. DCIN made a strong showing in votes today due in large part to its FDMB friends. However, another rescue in the competition has found the support of a special needs advocate and we have lost an advantage we gained in today's voting.

I have just posted a plea to vote in the contest on a bunch of human diabetic groups and pages I found on Facebook. If you belong to large groups or pages on Facebook and you think it might be appropriate to post a plea for votes on those pages, please do so. Thanks!!
 
I voted from my phone this morning and just tried to vote from my computer. rats.. it won't let me vote. I suppose i should have turned off wifi on my phone before i voted. (if i'm using my home wifi, does that make my computer and my phone the same isp? ) ..but, i can try Mark's phone with the wifi turned off.....! bbl
 
Yep, I don't know anything about "smart" phones, but if yours is drawing its signal from your home Internet connection, that would be the same ISP as your home computer. I hope Mark's phone (off wifi) gives you another voting chance.
 
I was able to vote from my computer.... turned the wifi off on my phone - and was also able to vote from my phone then too

and its been 24 hours since voting from computer so I was able to vote again :-D
 
It must have been just shy of 24 hours, then. I'll keep trying to get two votes in a day.
 
Thanks Lisa and every one else who is voting and sharing. It's only by six votes, but DCIN is now back in 1st place.
 
http://www.affordablepetsurgery.com/index_12.htm One vote per ISP every 24 hours.

DCIN started this morning with a 90 point lead. We'll be in second place this afternoon (if history is a guide) and then back on top by the end of the day--with your help.

I continue to encourage you to share the contest on your social media sites. DCIN got an endorsement last night from a Boston Terrier Rescue that one of our adoptive Moms belongs to. And spreading the word to other groups makes others more aware that cats do indeed get diabetes and that there are places one can go to for help with that diagnosis.
