"Love of animals is a universal impulse, a common ground on which all of us may meet.
By loving and understanding animals, perhaps we humans shall come to understand each other."

Financial Aid for Vet Care

Economic times are tough, making it difficult for many pet parents to pay extensive or emergency vet medical care costs. Even the most prepared pet parent doesn't always have the extra funds for expensive emergency treatment, such as when Fluffy swallows a string or Spot gets hit by a car. Fortunately, there are organizations out there that can help with vet costs. Some are specifically for emergency medical treatment, while others can assist with routine medical care. Some help individuals, Good Samaritans, and rescue groups. These organizations exist to help those that need it most, so please don't take advantage of their offerings.

Feline Outreach - Assistance with unanticipated vet costs for cats. Helps individuals and rescue organizations.

IMOM - Dedicated to ensuring that no animal has to be euthanized simply because their owner cannot pay for medical care.

About This Blog


This blog is designed to connect animals in need with people who want to help, profile animals in need, keep people informed on interesting animal related issues, news, and events, and provide a general resource for all animals lovers. There are ways in which we can all help our feathered, finned, and furry friends and I hope you can do so through my blog.
I’m just a girl doing my best to help every creature who cannot speak for himself. I hope to one day own my own rescue, but until then I will continue to do the little things I can. I’ve had many animal companions in my time, including fish, frogs, gerbils, hermit crabs, birds, cats, and dogs. I am currently the proud person of one dog, five cats and two geckos. On weekends I can be seen moonlighting as Cat Woman.
