FKF January 2017 Case Update

In January 2017, Fur Kids Foundation had 11 families apply for assistance, and we were able to help seven of those families—for a total of $1,240.75 given in aid. Below is a rundown of the cases we provided assistance to in January:

1. A cat who needed an exam, and received meds for diarrhea and vomiting
2. A cat who received meds for a urinary blockage
3. A dog who received fluids and pain meds
4. A cat who needed to stay at the vet’s office and needed fluids and medications
5. A dog who received surgery to remove a lump
6. A dog who received surgery for pyometra
7. A puppy who needed to stay overnight at the vet’s office and passed away

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 who support us with promotions, these families 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.

Please take a minute to check out our Success Stories and read more about the families with pets that we help. The Fur Kids Foundation board of directors works very hard to make sure that the majority of the money we raise helps local families; in 2016, more than 75% of the money we have raised was spent on emergency veterinary care.
