Emergency Veterinary Financial Resources in Vermont

  1. Vermont Veterinary Medical Association (VVMA) Resource List: This is a comprehensive document listing various state-wide resources for financial aid.
  2. The Mitzvah Fund: This organization offers financial assistance for emergency veterinary care.
  3. Humane Society of Chittenden County (HSCCVT): They maintain an updated list of local and national financial assistance options that can be helpful even outside of Chittenden County.
  4. Senior Solutions / Pet Assistance: While primarily for seniors, they may have resources or connections that can point your client in the right direction.
  5. Vermont Volunteer Services for Animals Humane Society (VVSAHS): Another local organization to reach out to regarding potential assistance or programs they may run.

If none of these organizations can help, it may be in the best interest of the kitten to surrender it to an organization that can provide for the kitten.
