What happens if I make a donation to a specific Pet In Need and you have already reached your fund raising goal?

Unless you contact us and ask for a refund, your donation will be used where ever it is most needed.

We make every attempt to let our supporters know when we have reached our fund raising goal.

Does IMOM really have all these different fund accounts?

Yes, on the books we have all these funds but we only have one bank account.

Does IMOM give money to applicants once their application has been approved?

No, IMOM does not ever give money to applicants. The veterinarian sends us an invoice once the pet has received the care they need -- and we send them a check.

How do you know the people you help really need help?

We do our very best to insure that financial aid is only given to those who have no money to have their pet cared for.

We have a pretty rigorous application process. You are invited to surf around our financial aid web site for more information on our screening process.
