Missing teeth, gum pain, difficulty eating: Mosquito has contracted the calicivirus!
It is always a huge disappointment to see a campaign fail, it means that the concerned animals will not receive any help. Unfortunately, we can not ship incomplete campaigns.
We want to maximize the help we are all bringing to the animals in distress. Our campaign goals are calculated to balance our storage, delivery and manufacturing costs of the offered products.
Delivering failed campaigns would generate too many costs, which would eventually lead to the bankruptcy of the website and leave all the animals that we could have helped alone...
The delivery of unfinished campaigns is also physically impossible for some products (if only 50% of a kennel is financed: we can not cut it in half).
Our activity is regulated by the french tax law, it forbides us to transfer money instead of the advertised product (article L 548-1 of the Monetary and Financial Code).
For this reason, when a campaign fails, donations are immediately refunded. If they want to, donors can send this money directly to the association.
Our activity is regulated by the french tax law, it forbides us to use the money for anything else than the original use announced in the campaign (article L 548-1).
So, unfortunately, we are not allowed to transfer donations from a campaign to another.
Free clicks are saved before being reallocated to other campaigns (free clicks being immaterial, they are not submited to the same obligations than financial donations).
This campaign failed, it won't be delivered... Collected quantities have been cancelled (payments have been transfered back and free clicks have been saved in a stock).

Quincy, a seven-year-old cat, carries the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). This weakens his immunity, making him susceptible to catching a calicivirus.
To ease his discomfort, we had to extract almost all of his teeth (all that remains are his canines). Despite this, his gums are still very inflamed, and he has difficulty eating. So, we occasionally give him cortisone injections to help him out.
A few months ago, Quincy started to drink excessively, which is abnormal behaviour. We had a blood test done, which revealed that he is diabetic. As a result, he now receives insulin treatment twice a day, morning and night.
A set of blankets could provide Quincy with essential thermal comfort. This is particularly important for a cat battling multiple health issues. It would allow him to rest better and conserve his strength, particularly during cold and wet conditions.
This year, we have had to deal with a typhus outbreak, which has disrupted our operations. We had to temporarily halt our work and spend a lot of money replacing contaminated equipment!
With around fifty cats in foster care and the same number of free-roaming cats spread across various sites, resources really are stretched thin…
