Miracle Mimi

My name is Mimi. I was rescued from death row in a shelter on April 16th, 2011. Unfortunately I have Parvovirus and needed to be hospitalized. My foster Mom is now trying to raise money to help the family who adopted me pay for my treatment.

All funds are paid through PayPal - use the widget below. All funds will be used for Mimi's vet bills. Any additional funds will be given to No More Homeless Pets in Utah.

Thank you for all your help.

Miracle Mimi is home from the vet hospital - feeling better and growing!! She even met her Dad who came back from his work trip. Here is a video of her trip back home from the vet and her first few days.

Stay tuned for video and a longer post. But right now we are just lovin’ her up and happy as can be!!

I got a chance to visit Mimi through the glass yesterday. She’s off her IV and feeling better. Can’t wait to pick her up soon! Just waiting for the call from the vet!

I went to see Mimi in the hospital today. She’s off the IV but still in the containment ward. She’s in the bottom cage on the right. I couldn’t touch her, just wave at her through the glass. She’s thankful for everyone’s help. The vet said her survival is really a miracle.

The vet said that Mimi should be able to come home tomorrow. She is weak but eating and feeling much better. We are so excited and thankful for everyone’s support.

We’ve raised $1200 dollars already. We want to thank the donors - you all are amazing. And know we will pay it forward. Mimi’s family was overcome this morning with everyone’s generosity. She’ll be sending everyone a personal thank you.

We’ll be volunteering at the No More Homeless Animals in Utah Pet Super Adoption Event April 29th - May 1st. Training for the event is tomorrow and Monday. Click on the link and sign up or donate to this great oragnization. Any money we raise in excess of the $2000 for Mimi will be donated to NMHP and we are volunteering an hour of our time for every $50 raised towards Mimi’s vet bills!

The amazing people at Basecamp X - makers of the finest handcrafted axes and blades - donated $100 for Mimi’s care. Her Mom Porter cried when she found out. We are so thankful! So check them out, follow them on twitter @basecampx and pass the word about their tools. An axe from them would make a fabulous father’s day gift!

Our good buddy the Desert Dawg wrote a post on his blawg about Mimi. One of his pals donated $100 for her care. We were so surprised there were tears shed over here at Mimi watch central. Thanks to the Desert Dawg and his two-legged pal Ace Kvale!

You guys are amazing! The wonderful friends over at Cause for Paws Utah sent out a message about Mimi on their Facebook page last night. We’ve already received some donations for her care thanks to their post! We really appreciate your help.

Miracle Mimi is doing well. Surviving the 1st 48 hours is key for parvo. The vet gave us a quick update and will call back later with more information. We’ll keep you posted on the Mimsey.

We’ll be donating volunteer time to thank everyone for helping out with Mimi. No More Homeless Pets in Utah is a great organization. We’ll either be working with them, their affiliate organizations or other local rescues in Mimi’s name. I’m personally going to donate 1 hour per $50 raised for Mimi’s Vet Bills. Your donation will help Mimi and many other pets like her. Thank you.

Mimi’s first few days out of the shelter.
