UNCONDITIONAL LOVE - LOYALTY - COMPANIONSHIP - PROTECTION

We believe every pet deserves not to be hungry or suffer from an illness or injury.  If you are homeless, or a Veteran, and need assistance caring for your pet, we can help.

A homeless man living in a tent by the river called seeking medical assistance for his companion Deimos, a 9-month old mix. He has been homeless for about a year. Deimos was experiencing weight loss, vomiting, lethargy and shaking of the head for three to four days, and it was difficult to wake up Deimos. We got an exam approved for Deimos with a close by Partner Veterinary Hospital. They got Deimos in super-fast. Once bloodwork and x-rays were performed, they were fast to give Deimos the correct medications and got him feeling better! Deimos' owner thanked us numerous times for saving his best friend!

A man residing in a homeless shelter in Denver, CO has been homeless for four months. He is a disabled Veteran that receives SSI and food stamps. He reached out to Feeding Pets of the Homeless for his 2-year-old male Pitbull named Kechi. The dog had been seen at the ER the day before and was diagnosed with an intestinal blockage. An intake was completed by a case manager and homeless verification was provided by a shelter manager. Kechi was moved to another hospital to complete the surgery for a more reasonable cost. During surgery Kechi was very ill and the vet thought that they may need to euthanize him while on the operating table, but he was a fighter and did great. Kechi recovered overnight in the hospital and was returned back to his owner the next day.

Hi, my name is Udonathan Mothra, but my family calls me Udon.I'm a 6-year-old tabby cat living with my family in Kentucky. We are currently experiencing homelessness, but we are facing each day together. I spend my time keeping my human brother company while my mom works hard to find us a safe and stable place to call home.One day, I started having trouble going to the bathroom. I was straining to urinate, and soon there was blood in my urine. My mom had seen these symptoms before with another cat and knew I needed help right away.She reached out to Feeding Pets of the Homeless and completed an application for assistance. After a brief review, I was approved to see a veterinarian.The vet ran tests and confirmed I had a urinary blockage that required emergency surgery. Thankfully, they were able to get me into surgery quickly before my condition became even more serious.Now I'm back with my family, getting plenty of rest and feeling better every day. Having my mom and brother by my side has made all the difference.Thanks to supporters like you, Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $800 toward my veterinary care.A message from my mom:"He's definitely back to his old happy self. You wouldn't even know how sick he was. My son was so happy to have him back...Thank you so much for saving his life."Your support helps pets like me receive lifesaving veterinary care and stay with the families who love us most.Lend a paw to help the next pet in need.
