See how you can make an impact for Kentucky Pets Alive during Give For Good Louisville:
|
$5 donation | Toy Pay for one fun toy. Toys play an incredibly important role in stimulating cats, helping to maintain their behavior and well being, as well as providing exercise. |
|
$10 donation | Dewormer Pay for one cat to be dewormed. This is a preventative treatment that removes parasites and helps keep cats healthy. |
|
|
$25 donation | Combo test Pay for one cat to be combo-tested. A combo test is a blood test that screens cats for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV). It can also check for heartworms. |
|
$50 donation | Microchip & Rabies vaccine Pay for one cat to be microchipped and vaccinated for rabies. Did you know cats with microchips were found to be more than twenty times as likely to be reunited with their families? |
|
|
$150 donation | Spay or neuter Pay for one cat to be spayed or neutered. Spaying and neutering can help cats live longer and healthier lives by preventing serious diseases and other health issues. This procedure also helps with population control and can curb unwanted behaviors. |
|
$250 donation | Diagnostic lab work Pay for diagnostic lab work for one cat (approximated). Lab work can help detect a variety of conditions including hyperthyroidism, diabetes, early kidney disease, parasites/worms, or even a urinary tract infection. |
|
|
$500 donation | Echocardiogram Pay for a heart echo for one cat (approximated). An echocardiogram uses high-frequency sound waves to create a picture of the heart. This provides a more objective picture than an X-ray and can allow vets to see if there are any abnormalities in the heart. |
|
$1,000 donation | Enucleation Pay for one cat to receive an enucleation (approximated). This is a surgical procedure that removes a cat's eye while leaving the eye muscles and other orbital contents intact. A veterinarian may recommend this procedure if a cat's eye is severely or irreparably damaged, painful and unmanageable, or afflicted with an untreatable eye condition or tumor. |
|
|
$1,500 donation | Amputation Pay for one cat to receive a leg amputation (approximated). There are many reasons why a cat may need to have their leg removed. The two most common of these are severe trauma (for example: road traffic accident) or as a way to manage a disease, such as cancer. Cats cope far better with amputation than people imagine they will! |
|
$2,000 donation | Prescription food Pay for one cat to receive a year's supply of prescription food (approximated). A veterinarian might prescribe prescription food for a cat to help manage a variety of conditions, including chronic kidney disease, gastrointestinal issues, urinary tract issues, diabetes, and other concerns. |
|
|
$2,500 donation | FIP medication Pay for one cat to receive 84 days of life-saving FIP medication (approximated). Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a viral disease caused by certain strains of the feline coronavirus. FIP generally occurs in one of two forms: a “wet form,” in which fluid accumulates in body cavities like the abdomen and/or chest, and a “dry form,” which affects the central nervous system, resulting in neurologic issues. Once a cat develops clinical FIP, the disease is usually progressive and almost always fatal without therapy. |
|
$3,000+ donation | Major surgery Pay for one cat to receive major, life-saving surgery. When a cat has a major surgery, there are many additional costs you may not consider. These can include lab work, X-rays, a visit to a specialist, hospitalization, laser therapy, antibiotics, pain medication, and other expenses. |
