This person sent me an ask about her sick cat out of the blue and then immediately followed me. The post on her blog looks very convincing, a vet bill with her same name as the PayPal and everything, even showing crochet plushies offered in exchange for support.
However, a quick Google Image search for a picture of the plushes in question returns an identical photo on another person's (better corroborated) sick cat post from October of this year.
Furthermore, the blog header implies that this is a multifandom blog and lists a small handful of popular ones, like Good Omens and The Lord of the Rings.
However... There's no such content on this blog with even a cursory glance. It was made super recently and has a super shallow archive, just a really incoherent jumble of popular posts unrelated to any of these fandoms, and is mostly just self-reblogs of the sick cat post.
I feel bad reacting doubtfully to such a tragic story, but like... this person's stolen someone else's real struggle and is using it to scam kindhearted folks like us. I've been scammed by posts like this before, and I don't regret trusting enough to believe and want to help, but I do regret not doing my homework.
Always do digging, especially when contacted by a blog you've never seen before, and back-search any distinctive-looking images to see if they've been stolen. Block this person and spread it around that they're deceiving others.

I stumbled upon her content such a long time ago, and they're both so precious and funny as heck. Please support them if you aren't already following her accounts.
Felt like making a little random post to give your feeds a bright pop of colorful fun, and I hope you can take a moment to check out my art!
This is just a sampling of all the things I make for my art brand Schlady, which covers the whole spectrum of my colorful art & design work: original acrylic paintings, art prints, greeting cards, stickers, buttons, magnets, and more. As you can see, I care quite a bit about cats, landscapes, memes, and expressions of pride, and I love to make new & custom designs whenever I can.
I'm honored to be able to share my inspirations & expressions with those who enjoy living life just as colorfully as I do... thank you! I'm grateful for each & every reblog, customer, client, and stockist that keeps my art dream going strong. 馃寛馃挏- Kelli
Just a reminder with spring on the horizon and gifts of flowers being more common, LILIES ARE TOXIC TO CATS!
And by TOXIC I mean even just a few pollen grains or the water from a vase holding cut lilies or even just biting into a stem or leaf can cause fatal kidney failure.
If you have cats, please keep true lilies (any plant from the genus Lilium) out of your home or garden
My store is officially open again! All 62 new mushroom pins are up as well as 5 new prints.
I'm still working on the bandanas, so those will be released next week. <3
can鈥檛 currently afford the print copy of the fabulous @lackadaisycats work?
maybe your local library will buy it in the meantime! hand for scale.
reading a hard copy of what I found years ago on the internet is cool in its own right, but the over 20 pages of bonus content are what鈥檚 really tempting.
note about the back cover: this is what was facing out as I carried the book in my arm out of the library and into the streets. certainly didn鈥檛 make me look like a psycho I鈥檓 sure.
