Callie's Cathouse - An Appeal

Meet Callie, L.A. refugee cat relocated to OKC, with big plans to help her new OK friends here stay healthy & housed.

We are just $270 away from reaching $3,000 on our Callie's Cathouse fundraiser. And if we can raise that by month end, we'll receive a $500 match from a committed cat donor. Can you help with our fundraiser?

This cat fundraiser was started to cover primarily the dental needs of two cats, Alfie and Count, who both were diagnosed with stomatitis. A last option for both Alfie and Count was to have their teeth removed (not an inexpensive treatment). It worked for Alfie, who is now a thriving, happy cat at proper weight. Sadly, Count succumbed eventually to what we believe may have been an underlying heart condition. But Alfie and Count are not the only cats! You can meet some of the cats at the link to the fundraiser on GiveSendGo.

My longer-term aspiration is to build a permanent, large, enclosed space for the feral cats. Cats living outdoors just get into trouble – fight club, predation, extreme weather, moving vehicles, etc. So, overall, we know the cats would be safer and healthier if they had a great indoor space and catio. But, it’s one step at a time. So I am looking to hit this initial fundraising goal.

We do not have nonprofit 501(c)3 status currently, so your gift would not be tax deductible.

Whether sharing this email or contributing $5 online, your support will make a tremendous difference in helping Callie’s Cathouse come to fruition!

Thank you in advance for any support! We, including all the cats, appreciate it!

The Real Callie of Callie's Cathouse

Yes. There is a real Callie, who we also call Callieco. I found her, with the help of my neighbor, as a kitten who had hidden in the engine of the neighbor's car.

Callie – the obvious name for a calico kitten – was checked out at the vet the next day, and the rest is history! In her younger years, Callie liked to cuddle with our first cat, Emma (also rescued), who tolerated the cuddling for short periods. Nowadays, Callie likes to crawl under the bed covers and settle in an arm cradle. She’s our sweet Callieco and the eponymous Callie of Callie’s Cathouse, of course!
