Helping Every Animal Receive Treatment, Inc. (HEART) is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to increasing access to veterinary care for pets in need.
Recently, HEART team members were contacted—almost as if by fate—through Mobile Pet Vet (owned and operated by HEART co-founder Dr. Lisa Beagan). An Anne Arundel County school social worker reached out after a student, with no transportation and limited resources, expressed concern about his sick cat in urgent need of medical attention. Mobile Pet Vet was fully booked, but fortunately, co-founder Robin Catlett happened to be answering calls and was determined to find help.
Robin, the social worker, HEART veterinarian Dr. Holly Mazzurco, and Dr. Beagan coordinated to get the cat the care it needed. This story is a powerful reminder of the teamwork and coordination it currently takes to help pets in crisis. As HEART becomes fully operational, our goal is to streamline this process—making care faster, easier, and more affordable.
While we’ve limited the details to protect the student’s privacy, we can share that his cat (pictured here) received critical, life-saving treatment. Without it, he may not have survived—and a child in need may have lost his closest companion. Ongoing treatment, including prescription food and veterinary follow-up, is still required.
