Calvin's Paws

The test results came back, and Our Rooter officially has Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP).

Up until very recently, a diagnosis of FIP was essentially a death sentence, as there was no cure for this horrible disease. However, recent advances in anti-viral treatments now give us at least a chance at beating FIP. 

Your donation will go towards purchasing the medicine, testing, and other supplies Rooter will need to beat FIP. The course of treatment is 84 days of injections (yes, an injection every day for 84 days!), followed by an observation period of 80 days to make sure the virus does not return.

The treatments are still experimental and extremely costly. There is no guarantee that this will work. However, this is Rooter's only chance.

We promise to keep you up to date on Rooter's progress (or setbacks), and thank you for any help you can offer. Every dollar counts!

Through rescue and education, Calvin's Paws promotes the adoption of cats, including seniors, disabled and those with special needs while providing leadership to facilitate No Kill communities. Hi friends, join me in making a difference by supporting a good cause! I'm raising money for Calvin's Paws and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Several years ago, this sweet Maine Coon boy was dumped outside to fend for himself. Two years ago, he got in a fight with another cat. That fight caused an abscess on the side of his face which then burst. Since that time, the exposed skin around that burst abscess has deteriorated and spread to a large section of the left side of his face.

We need your help to rebuild Elvis' face.

Calvin's Paws is working with Purr and Bark Veterinary Hospital to heal this long-neglected wound. Our goal is to raise $500 to cover Elvis' initial surgery and his many months of sugar packs, laser therapy, and potential future surgeries to repair the damage. Any amount you could donate to help Elvis would be appreciated, and no amount is too small. Every dollar donated helps Elvis and helps Calvin's Paws continue to help other animals like Elvis.

The kind people who have been feeding Elvis since he was dumped have volunteered to foster Elvis while he heals, we just have to get him well!

Tis the Season everyone - kittens are popping up everywhere and they require a lot of care and love to get to the point where they can go to their forever homes. Medical care and supplies add up fast. Three more babies that need to see the vet are coming to us from the shelter today. Not all of us can foster, so if you cannot foster, consider donating to help cover costs of those babies in foster care so that they get all they need to go to "college" (we call spay day college because surgery day makes them all get too nervous). Your donation will cover medical care, vaccines, felv/fiv testing, dewormer, flea preventatives, spay and neuter, micro chips and kitten food and care supplies.
Help us help these precious babies and we will be sure to keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can see what amazing things your donations do!! And, as always, if you have a Calvin's alumni kitty, send send us updates - we love to share them with the whole team!
