Caring for Animals

  • Additional Gift Funds

    • Helping all kinds of animals

    (and sometimes their owners too)

    Dogs, cats, cows, horses, barn owls, and bobcats. The veterinarians and students at the College of Veterinary Medicine care for all these animals and more.

    Whether you are a past client of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, have brought an injured bird to the Wildlife Medical Clinic, or simply love animals, you can make a difference in the lives of the animals we treat.

    Through the following funds, your gift will help us care for animal companions, assist animal owners in need, and educate future practitioners in the art and science of veterinary medicine.

    Making Care Possible

    Your gift to the Indigent Pet Fund makes treatment options possible for animal patients that are unowned or whose owners have extremely limited financial means.
