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.

Feeding Pets of the Homeless

Feeding Pets of the Homeless
We’re sharing this week’s success story a little differently.This time, we’re starting with a message directly from the pet’s owner. Her words speak volumes about what this support meant during one of the hardest moments in her life. Stories like Sunshine’s remind us why this work matters and why your support makes a difference.Read on to learn more about Sunshine and how our Emergency Veterinary Care program helped this beloved companion heal.Sunshine's mom:"Thank you for helping Sunshine. She is doing better. She has passed the blockage in her stomach and is now happily going potty.Sunshine is a perfect cat who does a great job giving me support in our tough times in life. Our pets are our children, and I appreciate the help you gave her because she truly deserves it, just as all pets do.Sunshine was found under a house. The owner heard kittens crying and saw two abandoned Maine Coon mix babies. They were freezing and starving. I was blessed to be nearby and heard someone was looking for a home for one of the kittens. The Lord blessed me that day. Even though it was dark and cold, she was my Sunshine. That’s how she got her name.Sunshine is a tough, outgoing girl. She has long hair and gets hot in the summer, so she will walk into a shallow lake and lay down in it. She walks on a leash, loves to explore, and her favorite game is slapping a ball back to you. She’s a cuddly girl when she wants to be, and when she does, I take full advantage of that. She just turned four years old yesterday.I want to mention that I appreciate this program. It is truly life-saving. I will be making monthly donations to pay back what your program has blessed us with. This will begin at the end of January.God bless you all. What a wonderful thing you do."Meet SunshineHi, my name is Sunshine.I’m a 4-year-old Maine Coon who loves treats and snuggles. Right now, I’m experiencing homelessness with my mom. After she lost her job, we were evicted from our apartment. We’re currently doing our best to get through this chapter together. My mom says I give her comfort and strength when things feel uncertain. She always tells me not to worry, that our luck will turn soon.Shortly after we lost our home, I got sick. I was throwing up, barely eating, and couldn’t go to the bathroom. My mom was so worried about me, and she didn’t know how she could afford a vet visit. She called 211 for help, and they gave her a list of resources. That’s when she found Feeding Pets of the Homeless.After a quick interview and some paperwork, I was approved for care.At the vet, I was given fluids, had X-rays taken, and was diagnosed with an intestinal blockage. They gave me pain medication and an anti-nausea shot to help me feel better.Thanks to Feeding Pets of the Homeless, I received the treatment I needed and am now back with my mom recovering. ...
