  8. I wrote up this list of resources specifically for my sibling, whose ferret needs
  9. emergency surgery. As such, these resources are tailored to the following:
  10. - Non-dog, non-cat pets included
  11. - Level of need urgent/life-saving
  12. - Location near Milwaukee, WI (when applicable)
  13. - Available to those in financial hardship
  14.  
  15. # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
  16. # Grants to help pay for vet bills #
  17. # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #
  18.  
  19. # --------------------------- Red Rover Urgent Care -------------------------- #
  20. [Approximate amount]: $200
  21. [Link]: https://redrover.org/relief/urgent-care-grants/
  22. [Direct link to application]: https://form.jotform.com/83436021863152
  23. [Requirements]:
  24. - One animal only
  25. - Diagnosis and treatment plan in place
  26. - Animal is spayed/neutered
  27. - Not retroactively available for previous bills
  28.  
  29. # -------------------------- Frankie's Friends Fund -------------------------- #
  30. [Approximate amount]: <$1000
  31. [Link]: https://www.frankiesfriends.org/national-frankies-friends-fund
  32. [Requirements]:
  33. - Diagnosis and treatment plan in place
  34. - Cost estimate from vet
  35. - Favorable prognosis
  36. [Additional notes]:
  37. - They also link to their HOPE Fund program, but that requires attending a specific vet clinic, of which there are none in WI. There are 2 in IL, but probably best to just apply for the national version.
  38.  
  39. # ------------------------------ Onyx and Breezy ----------------------------- #
  40. [Approximate amount]: Not specified, perhaps full coverage?
  41. [Link]: http://www.onyxandbreezy.org/grant-application-faqs.html
  42. [Requirements]:
  43. - Proof of Care Credit denial
  44. - Tax Return
  45. - Cost estimate from vet
  46. - Diagnosis & Prognosis
  47. - Bill must be outstanding/not paid (ie, they won't reimburse if you pay up front)
  48. [Additional notes]:
  49. - Application must be mailed or faxed, no online application system.
  50.  
  51. # --------------------------- Brown Dog Foundation --------------------------- #
  52. [Approximate amount]: they only help if they can "bridge the gap" between how much you can afford and how much the treatment costs. It doesn't specify their benefit cap, but safe to assume <$1000
  53. [Link]: http://www.browndogfoundation.org/process
  54. [Requirements]:
  55. - Bill must be outstanding
  56. - Tax return
  57. - Income <300% Federal Poverty Guidelines (or proof of hardship)
  58. - Proof that you own the pet
  59. [Additional notes]:
  60. - You'll have to talk to the vet about this. The website specifies that the vet must work with them and you for the application.
  61. - Also it seems like a hassle overall, their website is pretty negative-sounding.
  62. - Also it might not cover WI? Unsure.
  63.

  75.  
  76. [Approximate amount]: Not specified
  77. [Link]: http://www.helpinghands4pets.org/Programs.html

  80. [Additional notes]:
  81. - Application must be mailed.
  82.  
  83. # ----------------------- Friends and Vets Helping Pets ---------------------- #

  89. - Bill must be outstanding/not paid

  118. - Initial application filed online
  119. - Vet must complete their portion of the application in order for request to be approved
  120. - Bill must not be "already incurred" - but I assume they mean like, "bill not incurred at the time of application," instead of "bill must be incurred after the whole application process is done."

  146. [Additional notes]:
  147. - Only accepted at some clinics. Check for your clinic here: https://scratchpay.com/clinics/search
  148. - Does check your credit but allows you to have someone else apply on your behalf. Initial credit check is "soft" (ie, doesn't affect your score). If you qualify for Pay Later, no further credit inquiry. If you qualify for Pay Over Time, they do a hard credit inquiry, which will affect your score slightly.
