​Fur Kids Foundation January 2021 Cases

January really kicked off 2021 with cases. We received nine (9) applications and eight (8) received assistance for their emergency veterinary care for a total of $2493.74. 

When applying for assistance, applicants are required to fill out the application, provide proof of income for everyone in the home over the age of 18, picture ID and picture of the pet. Some cases aren't approved because they were able to cover the bill, they didn't submit all of the info needed, or they make too much. If you ever have questions about assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. 

Below are the January cases:

• A dog who was limping and whining when trying to lift his head. He ended up with a bruised neck. We covered 75% granting $286.85 in aid. 
• A dog who had a partial spay and ended up with Pyometra. We helped with 30% and granted $72.70.
• A dog who needed help crossing the Rainbow Bridge. We covered $82.
• A dog who had Enteropathy, which is a group of diseases that cause the loss of proteins from the bloodstream. We assisted with 90% and granted $443.56.
• A dog who had an ear hematoma (like cauliflower ear for us) from playing too hard with his K9 brother. We helped with 75% and granted $358.15. 
• A young cat who had a mouth full of abscess teeth that needed removed. We helped with 90% and $621. 
• A cat that was hit by a vehicle and had fluid around his lungs that needed to be removed. We helped with 20% and $215.88.
