Avian influenza (H5N1) poses a serious risk to cats, often leading to severe illness or death. The virus can be contracted through raw or undercooked meat, unpasteurized dairy, or exposure to infected birds. To prevent infection, keep cats indoors, avoid feeding raw meat or unpasteurized dairy, and limit contact with wildlife. If you suspect your cat has H5N1, contact your veterinarian immediately.

There's still time to make your year-end gift to CVMF! The Connecticut Veterinary Medical Foundation has been fortunate to significantly grow our programming over the past year.

The Companion Assistance Program offers low-income Connecticut residents vouchers of up to $125 to assist with the cost of veterinary care. The number of vouchers issued per month has increased from 2-3 in 2022 to 40 in 2024.

Demand is also increasing for our Companions In Crisis program, which provides temporary, safe shelter for animals affected by domestic violence-related relocations or other emergency situations. We work with local animal hospitals to board these pets in a secure and confidential manner.

Donations to CVMF help us continue to administer these programs and make CT a better place for pets and people.

We are thankful for your support. You can make your gift here: https://petsafetyct.org/annual-appeal/
