| Help for Vet bills Just doing some on-line research for a friend and have found all these organizations that help with vet bills. Some of the cat ones also will help dogs. You would have to go to each link to see if it could apply to you. I have basically copied and pasted from the different sources; there may be some duplication. If this helps even one baby, its worth the effort. Have a healthy day. Organizations that help with vet bills - Feline Diabetes Help w/Vet Bills PDSA - Eligibility Celia Hammond Animal Trust UK Rescue Shelters Mercy Crusade P.O. Box 3265, Van Nuys, CA 91407 (818) 597-2926 / (805) 520-0734 / FAX: (818) 597-3490 Financial help with spay/neuter, vet bills. E-mail: petinfo@aarf.org I believe they used to serve all of Southern CA but don't know if they still do. If not, maybe they can give you other suggestions. In Memory of Magic (IMOM) is dedicated to insuring that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged. http://www.imom.org IMOM, Inc PO Box 282 Cheltenham, MD 20623 Phone (866)-230-2164 Fax (301)-599-1852 United Animal Nations established the LifeLine fund in 1997 to aid companion animals in times of life-threatening emergencies when their caregivers, with low or no incomes, are unable to afford the entire cost of treatment. http://uan.org/lifeline/index.html United Animal Nations P.O. Box 188890 Sacramento, California 95818 Telephone: (916) 429 2457 fax: (916) 429 2456 LifeLine Fund - http://www.uan.org/index.cfm?navid=28 Help-A-Pet is a nonprofit organization, which provides financial assistance for the medical care of pets whose guardians are unable to afford the expense http://www.help-a-pet.org/home..html Help-A-Pet P. O. Box 244 Hinsdale, Illinois 60521 Telephone: (630) 986-9504 fax: (630) 986-9141 Feline Veterinary Emergency Assistance Programs provides financial assistance for emergency medical care for cats. http://www.fveap.org/sys-tmpl/door/ FVEAP 1641 Elizabeth Lane Yuba City, CA 95993 Fax: 888-301-4264 http://www.catsincrisis.org/ American Animal Hospital Association http://www.aahahelpingpets.org/home/ "The heartbreak happens all too often ? a pet owner is unable to afford treatment and their sick or injured companion animal pays the price. If the owner is elderly, disabled or on a fixed income, the cost of care may be too much of a stretch for their pocketbook. Perhaps they have been victimized by crime, property loss or a job layoff and are experiencing a temporary financial hardship ? making it too difficult to afford pet care. And some animals, brought to clinics by Good Samaritans, don't have an owner to pay for treatment. Whatever the situation, the fact remains the same: When sick or injured animals are unable to receive veterinary care, they suffer. Through the AAHA Helping Pets Fund, veterinary care is possible for sick or injured pets even if they have been abandoned or if their owner is experiencing financial hardship." Angels 4 Animals www.Angels4Animals.org "Angels4Animals, a non-profit organization and a program of Inner Voice Community Services, has a mission to serve as the guardian angel of animals whose caretakers find themselves in difficult financial situations. At Angels4Animals we believe that animal owners should not have to say goodbye to the animals that they love. Our work is accomplished in conjunction with veterinary clinics across the country, eager to assist as many animals, and their owners, as possible. Our services range from financial aid to complete treatment to those pets and pet owners in need." Care Credit www.carecredit.com A credit card company for health care, including veterinary care. "CareCredit, the leader in patient/client financing, has helped more than 3 million patients/clients get the treatment or procedures they needed and wanted. With a comprehensive range of plan options, for treatment or procedure fees from $1 to over $25,000, we offer a plan and a low monthly payment to fit comfortably into almost every budget." Feline Veterinary Emergency Assistance (FVEAP) http://www.fveap.org/sys-tmpl/door/ "The NEED & The HELP: Seniors, People with disabilities, People who have lost their job, Good Samaritans who rescue a cat or kitten - any of these folks may need financial assistance to save a beloved companion." The Feline Veterinary Emergency Assistance Program is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization that provides financial assistance to cat and kitten guardians who are unable to afford veterinary services to save their companions when life-threatening illness or injury strikes. The Pet Fund http://thepetfund.com/ "The Pet Fund is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit association that provides financial assistance to owners of domestic animals who need urgent veterinary care. Often animals are put down or suffer needlessly because their owners cannot afford expensive surgery or emergency vet visits. Companion animal owners must often make the difficult decision to put an animal down or neglect urgent medical needs because of the costs involved. The purpose of the Pet Fund is to work towards a future where decisions about companion animal medical care need never be made on the basis of cost." United Animal Nations http://www.uan.org/lifeline/index.html "The mission of LifeLine is to help homeless or recently rescued animals suffering from life-threatening conditions that require specific and immediate emergency veterinary care. We strive to serve Good Samaritans and rescue groups who take in sick or injured animals. In certain cases, LifeLine can also assist senior citizens and low-income families pay for immediate emergency veterinary care." UK Assistance with Veterinary Bills http://www.petloversonline.co.uk/financial.htm "Most of us can cope with the financial commitment involved in the day to day care of our pets. However, how many of us come out in a cold sweat when our pet is ill or injured and we know we have to take it to the vet? Most of us are fortunate enough to be able to afford it but, some of us who love our animals dearly cannot. Unfortunately we do not have a PDSA or a RSPCA Centre within our area, but there are a few charities who may be able to help." AAHA Helping Pets Fund Animal Care and Welfare, Inc. (Pittsburg, PA) Canine Cancer Awareness Dougal's Fund, Inc. Organized exclusively for charitable purposes to provide funds for medical care of pets, mainly small, short legged terriers such as Scotties, Westies, Cairns, Norwich, Norfolk, etc., in alleviation of the pet’s pain and suffering when financial need has been demonstrated. Dougal's normally determines financial need as that instance where professional medical care will not be provided due to the inability of the pet's guardian/s to pay for the services

| Most of these links are no help to anyone, I've looked at all of them, most of them have waiting list that have people on them going on 2 years now, alot of them are not even for dogs or cats for instance there is a link on here for guinea pigs, it was nice of you to post them but maybe you should of read more into them first, they are just no good for anyone here right now, as far as The Pet Fund is concerned I'm on their waiting list for my Charlie but like the counselor there who I spoke to told me I can expect to be on the waiting list longer than 8 months because as of right now they had people on their waiting list that long already. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | How great of you to go to all this trouble, might make a great "sticky", I'm definitely going to put it in my favorites, because this type of help is so often requested. These organizations might be good if someone is looking to donate as well.

| If you look at the guinea pig link you will see lots of other links on that site. BTW, some of us consider guinea pigs to be our "babies" as well.
