♥Purrfriends♥ ............. Pet Assistance for our Furriends in Need

About Me

Purrfriends is the brainstorm of both Molly and Sassy, and the purpose is to provide support of all forms to our furry community. Purrfriends was created because of Cheddar, who was unable to get the emergency vet care he needed to survive. Since then Cheddars' Mommy, Amanda, How Many Kitties and their Mommy, Emma, and Cool Cat Luke and his Mommy, Corinn, have joined the Purrfriends team!
Many of our furriends have gone to Rainbow Bridge, much of it due to lack of funds from the high costs associated with urgent and emergency vet care.
PurrFriends is designed with the intention of furriends helping furriends in such times of emergency. By donating what we consider pocket change, we can pool together to help assist one of our furriends in times of need!
Purrfriends is not intended to assist with routine vet visits, but rather when an emergency or urgent need arises, and our parents are unable to get us the care we need due to the cost. Purrfriends is not a pet insurance fund, we are furriends helping one another through life threatening illness and unforseen instances of need.
Purrfriends does suggest that if you find yourself in need of vet care, to please refer to our link, provided on the left side of our page, to a listing of additional Emergency Assistance organizations in addition to submitting a request for assistance from Purrfriends.
We are sorry to say that our Pet Assistance Program is currently inactive. Thank you for your support and understanding!

My Interests

Sadly, our Assistance Program is currently inactive. We hope to get things up and running again sometime in the future, but can't predict if or when this will happen. Thank you very much for your support and understanding!

Please note: Funds are distributed equally by the current number of friends in need.

CURRENT AMOUNT RAISED
$0*

*current amount does not include past distributions or raffles currently in progress
TOTAL RAISED TO DATE $1816.00*

Purrfriends strives to help our furriends in need as much as possible. Due to limited funding, we strongly advise for those seeking assistance, to also inquire on pet insurance and/or other emergency funding, in addition to Purrfriends Pet Assistance.
