HAPPY ENDING #13 * Seattle cat needs donations for kidney stone surgery

[columbine]

The human she went to for help (her former humans dumped her) is requesting donations, or information about a vet who does discounted or pro bono work.

Save Dorie

Love, Columbine

I PM'd emily_the_spoiled the link to this thread. She lives in Seattle, so hopefully will know someone.

TRY THIS - PIMA in Seattle has a Vet Tech and Vet Assistant course:http://www.pmi.edu/locations/seattle.asp

They will work with vets, and might have some help for Dorie.

Here is a Vet Medical School in Seattle a quote from one page:

On a very limited basis, funds are available for ownerless animals or owners with special circumstances. See “Gifting Programs”.

Here is the link to the Gifting Program:

http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/depts-prd/GoodSam/

To be eligible for financial support through the Good Samaritan fund:

* Patients eligible for support will be common companion animal species. Such patients will have a need for life saving procedures and a reasonable prognosis for good long-term recovery.
* Patients will be either ownerless or owned by clients that cannot pay for care due to circumstances beyond the client's control. Animals from animal control agencies, humane societies, and business entities will be considered owned and not eligible for funds.
* Patients without an owner must have a temperament that does not prevent future adoption.

To inquire if your pet may be eligible for financial support through the Good Samaritan fund contact:

Dr. Harmon Rogers, Hospital Director using this Request Form

I am sending this to Dorie's guardian, but leaving the info here as well, in case she peeks in.

I sent the info to Cecilia, Dorie's guardian, and got a reply in no time.

Here's what she wrote:

Dear Candace ,

Thank you for this info and I will fill out this from right now. It is so nice to know there are people out there who care so much.

Thank you,

Prayers for Dorie!
