There is no restriction regarding pet species for the application for assistance. FKF does not cover the cost of routine visits, dental cleanings, routine vaccinations, spays or neuters, debarking, declawing, any cosmetic procedures or the cost of burials or cremation. If there is less than a 30% survival rate and/or the veterinarian recommends euthanasia as the best interest of the pet, FKF will not cover additional fees if further treatment is pursued. If an applicant’s pet’s life is in immediate danger, they should apply and seek immediate assistance from a licensed veterinarian.
The Foundation is designed to provide emergency assistance for families with pets in need. It is important to note that each applicant is reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Foundation's Case Managers, and not all families meet the Foundation’s guidelines. Fur Kids Foundation does not guarantee approval of applications, and reserves the right to refuse assistance to any applicant. The Foundation does not cover 100% of the medical expense, or past due accounts. Our dedicated Case Managers work closely with each applicant and the vet clinic to discuss the amount, if approved. The typical process takes anywhere from one to three business days, depending upon the requirements of treatment and, most importantly, the cooperation of the pet owner and veterinarian.
If approved, funds are paid directly to the clinics listed above. Applicants must make payment arrangements with the clinics for any remaining balance that the Foundation does not cover. Any applicants who do not follow through with payment arrangements with the veterinary clinic, stop payments on payment arrangements, or surrender their pet to a shelter or rescue after FKF has assisted with treatment funds will be denied future assistance from the Foundation.
Note: A complete Application for Assistance Policy is available upon request.
