ACT Pet Crisis Support is there to help pets and their owners when no one else can. The aim is to avoid economic euthanasia for pet owners who love their pets and don't want to lose them, but are faced with a medical emergency that they cannot afford or get finance for.
Please answer the following questions when considering partnering with us to help a pet and their owner:
If all of the above are a big ‘YES’, this is where ACT Pet Crisis Support can assist. Please complete the application form and we will respond to you as quickly as possible. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING FORM IS FOR VET CLINICS ONLY. If you are a pet owner, please visit your vet and ask them to complete the form for you.
We now have 3 volunteers monitoring our incoming applications, so we will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, please administer basic first aid. Once your application is approved and the treatment is completed we then ask you to email the invoice to us and we will pay via bank transfer within 14 days.
Please answer the following questions when considering partnering with us to help a pet and their owner:
- Is this condition something the pet owner is unable to save up for?
- Is the condition causing suffering to the animal (or pet owner)?
- Have they been declined for VetPay? (Please ask the pet owner to apply for this first, they may be able to make a partial contribution).
- Have they exhausted other options such as borrowing from friends/family?
- Do you feel their pet has a reasonable prognosis if treated? Would they be likely to live for more than a year?
- Is the condition something an average owner would treat?
- Have you asked the owner if they can contribute something towards costs (however small that amount might be)?
- Will the fund need to contribute less than $1500?
If all of the above are a big ‘YES’, this is where ACT Pet Crisis Support can assist. Please complete the application form and we will respond to you as quickly as possible.
