Good to know

  • Who can use it: Families experiencing hardship. Pets must have proof of spay/neuter and a current rabies vaccination; Anicira helps people who have trouble meeting these requirements find low-cost options.
  • How to get started: Drop in during pantry hours; no appointment needed. New clients complete a short application and waiver in person, listing every cat and dog in the household, and bring proof of spay/neuter and rabies vaccination.

Emergency? Call your veterinarian or the nearest 24-hour emergency hospital now, and tell them if cost is a barrier. Emergency signs and poison hotlines

Before you go

Call or check their page for current prices, appointment availability, any income or residency rules, and which animals they see. Ask what to bring.

If cost is the barrier, Paying for Care compares grants, payment plans and fundraising, and a free funding plan puts them together for your pet.
