The Cats of Calvin's Need YOU Calvin's Paws neither requests nor accepts government funding. We are a no-kill, 501(c)(3) charity and our program depends on your support. A donation of any amount is very much appreciated - and it's tax-deductible! Would you like to donate to our free spay/neuter program? Calvin's Paws is sponsoring a free spay/neuter clinic that is open to the public to help ensure that everyone can afford to spay and neuter their pets. Spaying and neutering as many animals as possible is part of the core mission of Calvin's Paws, and is the only way to reduce pet overpopulation. Thousands of animals die in North Carolina alone every year simply because there is not enough space in shelters to house them. How can you save 100 animals? By spaying just one. Where does your money go? We are an all-volunteer, non-profit group, so 100% of your donation goes directly to the cats! Our adoption fees typically do not cover the entire cost of what we spend on a cat, so in order to keep helping animals, we must receive donations from people like you! How much does it cost to rescue a cat? The exact amount that we spend on each cat can vary greatly depending on what care the cat has already had and their health while in our program. Here are our average costs per cat:
These costs are just the base cost for medical care that every cat that comes through our program needs. Even relatively common illnesses (upper respiratory infections, diarrhea, dental care, etc.) can increase our costs dramatically. Plus, every year, there are always a few cats that come to us needing some kind of specialized care or surgery that can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. How can you make a difference? Donations of any amount help tremendously! Even $10 will pay for at least one vaccine! You can either make a general donation:
