We need to raise $10,000 immediately to strengthen biosecurity and safeguard our rescued residents from the growing threat of avian flu. With cases of H5N1 now affecting not just birds but also cows, cats, and even humans, the risk has never been higher.
As of February 24th, 2025, there have been 70 confirmed human cases of H5N1 bird flu in the United States since 2024, including 10 in Colorado*. This alarming development highlights the urgency of ramping up safety measures to protect every resident at Luvin Arms—both animal and human.
Luvin Arms is boosting biosecurity measures, expanding cleaning protocols, and enhancing animal care monitoring throughout the sanctuary to ensure the safety of our residents. Your urgent support will help cover the costs of:
- Essential PPE & Disinfection Supplies – Boot brushes, bleach mats, Tyvek suits, storage bins, and vehicle sprayers.
- Expanded Cleaning & Sanitization – More frequent deep-cleaning of barns, high-traffic areas, and shared spaces.
- Increased Animal Care & Monitoring – Our team is on high alert, closely watching every resident for early signs of illness and providing treatment as needed.
- General Animal Care Costs – As the risk of avian flu rises, so do the costs of protecting and caring for our vulnerable residents, including emergency veterinary care.
In a sanctuary, wild birds and rescued farm animals naturally coexist. Although we can’t prevent all interactions, we must take every possible measure to reduce risks and ensure their safety.
Your contribution today will directly protect our residents.
