The guinea pig ate my homework

Here is a list of organizations who can help  owners that cannot afford vet care.

A couple are for rescue organizations and homeless pets.  


Please forward this list to  anyone you think it might help.


American Animal Hospital Association


 
http://www.aahahelpingpets.org/home/


 <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


 
http://www.Angels4Animals.org


 <http://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."

Feline Veterinary Emergency Assistance (FVEAP)


 
http://www.fveap.org/sys-tmpl/door/


 <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."

http://www.help-a-pet.org/home.html


 <http://www.help-a-pet.org/home.html>
"Our efforts focus on serving the elderly, the disabled, and the  working

 children of working parents, pets represent much more than a  diversion."

IMOM


 
http://www.imom.org


 <http://www.imom.org/>
"Mission Statement:


 "Helping people help pets. To better the lives of sick, injured and
 abused companion animals. We are dedicated to insure that no  companion
 animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is
 financially challenged."


 -----------------------


 The Pet Fund


 
http://thepetfund.com/


 <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


 <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


 <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 Center within our  area,
 but there are a few charities who may be able to help."
