Dear Friends,
The Connecticut Veterinary Medical Foundation (CVMF) has been fortunate to significantly grow our community assistance programs over the past year.
One of our most important initiatives is the Companion Assistance Program, which offers low-income Connecticut residents vouchers of up to $125 to assist with the costs of veterinary care. We are excited to be serving more pets in need, as the number of vouchers issued per month has increased from 2-3 in 2022 to an average of 40 in 2024. As more clinics and hospitals participate and awareness of the program grows, CVMF relies on donations to ensure that the need is met and every pet in the state of Connecticut is able to receive necessary veterinary care.
CVMF has also experienced increasing demand for our Companions In Crisis program, which provides temporary, safe shelter for animals affected by domestic violence-related relocations or other emergency situations. We work with local animal hospitals to board these pets in a secure and confidential manner.
A case manager who recently helped a client utilize the Companions in Crisis Program shared, “My client was overjoyed to see her cats again and is so happy to be back with them. This wouldn't have been possible without you. Thank you so much for all you do, it makes such a difference in helping survivors of domestic violence.” Donations to CVMF help us administer this program and provide funding to partner hospitals for necessary veterinary medical expenses while the pets are in their care.
CVMF exists to make Connecticut a better place for animals and people. Please consider donating today to help fund pet safety and care in our state:
Thank you,
Howard Asher, DVM – President
