THE CRUCIAL CARE FUND with the FVMA Foundation

 

DID YOU KNOW…

…that nationally, an estimated 66 percent of euthanasia cases are financially driven?

In Florida, animal shelters admit over 350,000 cats and dogs each year, with 14 percent of these pets not achieving a live outcome. While not all are instances of economic euthanasia, the inability to afford veterinary care is a major contributing factor both for families and for the shelters themselves.

Thanks to the partnership with the FVMA Foundation, The Crucial Care Fund, by Frankie’s Friends, lends a helping hand to Florida pet owners who cannot afford the cost of lifesaving and life-enhancing veterinary care.

The Crucial Care Fund is restricted to qualified families and assistance is only provided to family-owned pets. We are unable to assist with community cats, strays, or animals found by good Samaritans.

  • Grants will only be awarded to one pet per household. 

  • Both the applicant and the animal must live in Florida.

We do not cover:

  • Office exams or diagnostic testing to determine the pet's prognosis

  • Basic veterinary care

  • Monthly medications

  • Single treatment of a chronic disease

  • Routine veterinary care: annual exams, checkups, dental care, etc.

  • Treatment of farm animals, animals owned by breeders, or animals used for research or commercial purposes of any kind
