Everything the team knows about an animal, in one place
Daily life noted as it happens
Dated and signed journal notes, weigh-ins with their curve, temperament, compatibility, diet, routine and instructions. Volunteers add photos and observations without touching the rest of the record.
A clear history
Arrival, successive foster homes, adoption, possible return: the “Shelter journey” card retraces the animal’s story, with dates and durations.

Frequently asked questions
What if you don’t know an animal’s exact age?
Enter an approximate date of birth. Calidis then shows an age preceded by “approx.”, which changes over time.
Can volunteers edit records?
You decide. By default, a volunteer views records and adds journal notes, photos and weigh-ins; creating and editing are for managers.
Can you track species other than dogs and cats?
Not for the moment: records are for dogs and cats.
