Financial Aid


You are understandably under stress and want to get through this process as quickly as possible.  Unfortunately, it's not as easy as simply exchanging a few emails and IMOM sending a check to your veterinarian.

There are no shortcuts.  As you read through the step-by-step instructions please keep in mind that IMOM is a federally registered charity.  We have to justify every penny we spend to the IRS, our donors and grantors.  In order to do that we need to have complete files on each and every case.

The reality

As much as IMOM would like to help everyone who comes to us, it is simply not possible.  We are working with very limited funds and an over abundance of requests for help. 

IMOM presently accepts one type of application:

  1. Life threatening emergencies as defined below:

    A life threatening emergency exists when it has been confirmed in writing by a veterinarian that your pet will die or have to be humanely euthanized if care is not provided within five days from the date of diagnosis. 

    Click on "Step to Financial Aid" in the menu on the left side of this page to get started.

Due to limited resources IMOM can help only with one-time care if your application is approved.  Follow up and after care will be your responsibility.

Shortcuts..

There are none. The fastest way to get help is to go through the step-by-step instructions.  Sending an email to ask if IMOM can help will not speed up the process.  Instead, it will prolong the process.


Misconceptions..

Many of our site visitors assume that IMOM has lots of money!  Nothing could be further from the truth. We are a small grass roots organization struggling to help save lives and pay our operating expenses.
