GET HELP

We understand the comfort and love that your pet provides. If you are homeless and need help for your companion pet, we may be able to assist you in getting food for your pet, emergency veterinary care, and wellness care.

Emergency Veterinary Care

If your pet is experiencing an illness or injury, Feeding Pets of the Homeless may be able to help through our Emergency Veterinary Care program. All requests must be submitted through our online application. Applications are reviewed by a Case Manager to determine eligibility and available funding. If approved, a Case Manager will guide next steps and help coordinate care at a participating veterinary clinic. Payments are made directly to the provider. Any contribution you are able to make toward the invoice is appreciated.

Important Information

Applications are reviewed M-F 8am – 4pm PST. Requests submitted after hours or on weekends will be reviewed the next business day.

For emergencies that cannot wait, seek immediate care or contact organizations listed on our State and National resources pages.

Pet Food

We have partnered with Pet Food Providers across the nation that include food banks, pantries, soup kitchens and shelters. If you need food or supplies for your pet, please search our resources map for a Pet Food Provider near you and call to see if they have supplies on hand.

Other Resources

When Feeding Pets of the Homeless® cannot help, we will direct you to one of the many other organizations that may be able to help with your individual needs. Many organizations have specific missions and criteria that need to be met to qualify. Some resources are specific to breed. Local animal shelters or local chapters of the Humane Society may also be able to help, or know of other organizations local to you. Many SPCA’s offer low cost or free spay/neutering and vaccines.

Life has been very hard since my mom lost her job and we lost our apartment. Through it all, I’ve never left her side, I’m her companion, her comfort, and her best friend.Recently, my mom noticed something was very wrong. I couldn’t use the bathroom, and I had stopped eating. She was able to get me a free exam at a veterinary clinic, where they discovered I had bladder stones. My mom was terrified, not just for me, but because she didn’t know how she could afford the surgery I needed to survive.Determined to help me, she searched online and found Feeding Pets of the Homeless. After submitting a quick application, we were approved for assistance and referred to a veterinary hospital.At the hospital, the doctor sedated me, gave me pain medication, and performed a cystotomy (bladder surgery), along with updating my vaccinations. The surgery was a success, every stone was removed.Now I’m back with my mom, recovering safely by her side.Because of YouFeeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $1,500 toward Leeloo’s lifesaving care, ensuring that this devoted companion could stay with the person who needs her most. ...
