When you sponsor an animal for a year you make a HUGE difference in their life. With your donation you will be helping Calvin with all of his care, from routine vet visits to daily feedings.

With your yearly sponsorship (payments recurring monthly) you will receive quarterly updates and pictures of your resident in your email, your name on the IFS website, plus a spot on our exclusive sponsorship slideshow, viewable in the IFS store. Also, receive a free pass for all Open Barn Days! Come out and meet the animals you’ve sponsored—so they can thank you themselves! This is the gift that keeps on giving, for you and for Calvin.

For your convenience, this sponsorship will automatically renew each year until you choose to discontinue sponsor support.

Calvin and his twin brother Connor were spared from the grim fate male calves in the dairy industry typically face. Born on the same dairy as Tay, a compassionate employee at the facility reached out to us about taking Calvin and Connor, as they were “too small” to be sold for their flesh as veal. Boy babies that are too small are usually killed right there at the dairy as they have no profitable value. This was the fate Calvin and Connor were facing. We had to save their lives.

Originally hopeful for Calvin and his brother to provide Tay with some long-lasting friendship, it soon became clear that they are going to grow up into big, healthy, and fully-able bodied boys–which is wonderful! Tay needs someone a little slower to match her pace and playstyle. Calvin is sweet with a huge personality and charm to boot. He is very bonded with his brother Connor. We are so thankful to provide a safe, forever home for Calvin while continuing to advocate for male dairy calves and speak out against the industry as a whole.
