So this is what a few of us here have been working on. Fez, SoCal, Thor and myself have been kicking around the idea of starting a fundraiser for Rufus. THOR has graciously agreed to do an illustration of Rufus for a t-shirt. We were thinking that for a set donation amount you would receive the Rufus t-shirt. You could always donate less than the set amount but the t-shirt might entice some to donate more. Lots of loose ends but we wanted to have a plan in place just in case something else does not work out.

At the end of the day it seems like money is going to be needed either to purchase Rufus, to move Rufus, to care for Rufus or all of the above. If a restaurant/commercial business wants Rufus but maybe does not have the funds and the owner of Rufus does not donate him then the funds might could be used to secure Rufus who then can be donated on TC's behalf to said restaurant. Maybe a plaque with all the persons who donated could be displayed with Rufus. There are a lot of different scenarios but having funds on hand makes it easier to act.

Not sure who the Hidden LA people are or what crowd sourcing they are wanting to do. I guess that needs further research.
