IMOM cannot
help everyone who comes to us. It is difficult
to have to turn anyone away but there are times when
we have to.
IMOM is not
here as a convenience for those who would simply
rather have someone else pay their bill. If your
pet has already been treated, they are now on the road
to recovery. There
are too many animals suffering and in pain. We
have to focus all of our attention on those animals
who have not had the care they need and will not get
veterinary care unless IMOM intervenes.
