Thank you to everyone who made it out for our Tips For Change event last week! Huge thanks to Gianni's Italian Bistro for their support in working with charitable organizations like ours to raise funds for important causes.
It's not too late to donate if you couldn't make it! We’re a volunteer-run organization so every dollar donated turns into nearly $2 of funds that go directly to the animals who need urgent treatment at the >20 veterinary hospitals in the Bay Area that we partner with. Some of our donors contribute through their employer matching programs - either way every donation is tax-deductible!

Count down with us to 2023 as we feature a new Bay Area companion animal each day that you, our donors, have saved from needless suffering and euthanasia.
Meet one of SFAfA's favorite animals, Taz! When Taz's family discovered he had cancer, they felt heartbroken and overwhelmed. Not only was the diagnosis scary, but the surgery would cost a whopping $8,000. Thanks to the encouragement of Dr. Jessica Hunter of the San Francisco Pet Hospital, his family learned about SFAfA and applied for support. Thanks to our generous donors and our partner hospital who matched your donations with in-kind services, we were able to provide life-saving support to Taz. For the full story, and some serious sweetness, press play!
🐾 We partner with >20 Bay Area veterinary hospitals to give all types of animals a second chance when their owners can't afford medical treatment. Run by veterinarians and volunteers, the maximum amount of your donation goes directly towards the animals. Make your tax-deductible donation for 2022 at www.sfafa.org

#SFAFAlumni Oliver received a grant from SFAFA, with a match from @Irving Pet Hospital, for a painful oral abscess on the verge of infection due to him having feline immunodeficiency virus. And look at Olli go now! A note from his owner, Tahra:
“Oliver is doing great! He still has his 2 front incisors. He's more playful and more confident - his personality completely changed and that probably meant he was so uncomfortable before. Oliver has made such a difference in my life, he is my love, my joy, and my everything. I love him so much. I'm so grateful for finding SFAfA. Thank you!"
