​FKF February 2017 Case Update

In February 2017, Fur Kids Foundation had 10 families apply for assistance, and we were able to help seven of those families—for a total of $1,863 given in aid. In 2017, we have given $3,103.75 to families in Campbell County, Wyoming to pay for emergency veterinary care. Below is a rundown of the cases we provided assistance to in February:

1. A cat who had sudden weight loss and loss of appetite; FKF helped the cat cross the rainbow bridge
2. A cat who was having some kidney issues; FKF helped the cat cross the rainbow bridge
3. A cat who was attacked by a dog; FKF helped the cat the rainbow bridge
4. A dog who ate a bottle of Ibuprofen
5. A cat who couldn't walk on back legs
6. A dog who tested positive for Parvo
7. A cat who had an abscess

This month shows that we are not always able to provide assistance to every family who requests help. This happens for many reasons. Sometimes the vet bill doesn’t end up being as costly as expected so the family tells us that they can pay the bill, sometimes the applicant doesn’t complete the entire application process, or sometimes the applicant exceeds our income guidelines. To learn more about our application process, please check out our Application for Assistance, and be sure to check out our Terms of Assistance near the bottom of the application. You may also call and speak with any of our Case Managers about the process at 307.363.1131 or email furkidsfoundation@gmail.com.

We are grateful for the dedication of Fur Kids Foundation volunteers and supporters who have helped these families stay happy and healthy, and together! When you volunteer, attend an event, or help us raise money by supporting the businesses that support us with promotions, these families and pets are who you are helping. Thank you again for all that you do for the Foundation, and for families with pets in Campbell County, Wyoming.
