When four-year-old Juniper starting urinating outside her litter box, her owner took her to their veterinarian for an exam. She was diagnosed with kidney disease, and she needed blood work, possible IV fluid therapy and other treatments.

Her owner, who receives the Ontario Disability Support Payment, wasn't sure how they would afford Juniper's veterinary care. To help, their veterinarian applied for funding from the Farley Foundation on their behalf to help cover the cost of Juniper's treatment.

With funding approved, Juniper is receiving the veterinary care she needs to help her feel better. Your donations make a difference in the lives of pets like Juniper and their families. To help more pets receive access to veterinary care, visit farleyfoundation.org/donate.

Poor Holly was suffering from facial swelling on the right side of her face. Upon examination by her veterinarian, it was discovered that she had some dental issues, including a tooth root abscess, which required dental surgery and extractions.

Her owner, who receives the Canada Pension Plan disability benefit, wanted the best for her beloved pet, but was unsure how she would afford Holly's treatment. Understanding their situation, their veterinarian applied for funding from the Farley Foundation to help subsidize the cost of Holly's surgery and veterinary care.

Thanks to your donations, Holly can receive the surgery she needs to be pain-free and live her best life with her owner. ❤️ To help more pets like Holly, visit farleyfoundation.org/donate.

We have another heartwarming story to share about an adorable kitty we're absolutely smitten about! 🥰

When Smitten suddenly began displaying signs of illness, her owner knew a trip to the veterinarian was in order.

When they arrived, Smitten's veterinarian performed an examination to better understand what was happening with this sweet girl. However, they also needed to perform X-rays to figure out what was causing her feel ill.

Smitten's owner asked her veterinarian about payment options, as they were on a tight Ontario Disability Support Program budget and weren't sure how they could afford her care. Luckily, Smitten's veterinarian works with the Farley Foundation, and they applied for funding to help alleviate her owner's concerns and make sure Smitten was able to receive the treatment she needed!

With help from the foundation, Smitten's veterinarian was able to learn more about what she was experiencing, allowing them to determine the best treatment plan to get her on the road to recovery! 🐾

This cutie, named King, was taken to see his veterinarian after experiencing frequent vomiting. To help determine the cause of King's nausea, his veterinarian suggested they ultrasound his abdomen, as well as take some imaging to get a better understanding of what may be making him feel so ill.

As a recipient of the Ontario Works subsidy, King's owner was concerned about affording his treatment. Thankfully, King's owner knew about the Farley Foundation and applied for funding on behalf of King's owner.

Because of your donations, we could help King receive the veterinary care he needed to feel better. Help more pets like King at farleyfoundation.org/donate.

Dallas didn't have a veterinarian, but when his owner learned about the Farley Foundation's Pets to Vets program, they thought it was the perfect opportunity to take him in for a health check.

Once they found a veterinarian who could help, and his Pets to Vets funding application was submitted and approved, Dallas' new veterinarian performed an examination and provided him with the necessary core vaccinations that he was missing.

Through his examination, Dallas' veterinarian detected a heart murmur and noticed that he was also suffering from periodontal disease. To better understand Dallas' current state of health, further diagnostic testing was needed. His veterinarian also suspected that he required medication.

Since Dallas and his owner were approved for Pets to Vets funding and had established a relationship with their veterinarian, they qualified for regular Farley Foundation funding. Knowing that Dallas' owner was managing a limited Ontario Disability Support Program budget, their vet applied for funding to help cover the cost of his additional veterinary care.

Thankfully, Dallas was approved and received the diagnostic testing and veterinary care he needed. We're so happy we were able to help Dallas and his owner!
