    Default Calypso the kitten needs you

    On June 14, 2007 Calypso Paikea Rhyder was born 11 weeks too early.
    The hospital did everything they could to get this little angel to
    survive but after 23 days of everyone doing all they could, Calypso
    passed away.

    My name is Lola and I am a friend of Calypso's mother,
    Melissa. Melissa is a strong woman, a loving mother and I can not say
    I feel her pain but I feel for her and her family.

    I volunteer at an animal shelter near my home and as I went to an
    event to try to get animals adopted I noticed this little beautiful
    kitten, I picked her up and when I read her name I began to cry. Her
    name is Calypso. I took a few pictures of Calypso the kitten and I
    showed Melissa, i had a Calypso encounter and Melissa became attached
    to this little kitten.

    She told me "Oh Lola if I was closer I would adopt her in a heart
    beat" well I did everything possible to get this kitten and she is
    home with me. I live in New Jersey and Melissa lives in Indiana and
    this is where we need your help. I paid the adoption fee and we had
    everything set up to do a kitty relay to get Calypso the kitten to
    Melissa but unfortunately it didn't work. We found a place called
    Flypets.com where they help getting an animal all over the country but
    I do not have the money to get her to Melissa.

    If you could donate, a dollar, five dollars, anything it would be a
    wonderful gift you will be giving to this family. The cost is $150.00
    but I have asked for an estimate and will know in a few days if it can
    be lowered due to the circumstances.

    Calypso the kitten will not replace Calypso the angel but it will fill
    Melissa and her family with a lot of love and joy. If you can you will
    be blessed! if you can't donate but you can pass it on to someone you
    know who can help it also will be greatly appreciated.

    thank you so much for your help.

    Sincerely, Lola.


    This is Calypso the kitten








    and this is where you can donate.

    [email protected] via paypal


    Now one lucky person will win something, 2 handmade pieces of jewelry I made. I will place all the names in box and pick one out and that person will win these...

    My heart goes out to you. I cannot imagine the pain your going through, but I hope cuddling the new kitten can at least ease a tiny bit of that pain, or make it more bearable.

    I'm still waiting for the ones who mailed in the donations, once the entire amt is here I shall post the total. The Flypets charge a $25 fee, no return this is just for applying besides the $150 for the ticket charge. I did not know this, I thought it was included in the $150 but no so the total for them is $175.

    The pet carrier is $22 so add that to the $175 = $197.


    Once all the donations get here I will write down all the names on pieces of paper and have one of my kids pick a little paper from a box and I will message the winner

    The rest of the money will go to the animal shelter which is in desperate need of cat litter, food and other supplies. The shelter is...




    Oh and Willie has been adopted I was told via email today so the featured pet got a home so yay!!!

    I know Pookie, me too. I was cleaning up and Calypso cam and jumped in my dish washer and I began to cry, yeah I'm a sap. I will miss her and I started to think "omg I have to put her on a plane and probably never see her in real life again!" I picked her up and kissed her, she loves kisses! and then she farted so she made me laugh lol

    I know she is going to have a great home! Sultry_eyes already got her toys and scratching post and I can't wait to see pics of her in her new home. I feel great pride in being part of this and great joy that there are people out there who do care and are willing to give.

    Everyone has helped from the shelter, to my family, to my pets who have well she's a character so they had to get used to her, and all of you. If fills me with joy and who knows perhaps some day I will get to go to IN and visit Sultry and her fam and see Calypso again but till then I am so kissing her and hugging her lol

    a kitty farting when receiving hugs and kisses is a sure sigh of love!
    You can go visit her right?
