Urgent Care grant pre-application questions

RedRover Relief Urgent Care provides financial assistance grants and resources so pet caregivers can care for animals who need urgent veterinary care. Grants are intended to fill a small gap in funding that is keeping an animal from care. The typical grant is around $250. Due to the large volume of applications we receive, the program is unable to help everyone who applies. Before applying, you must have a clear diagnosis and specific treatment plan in place from a veterinarian.

Has the animal recently been seen by a veterinarian regarding this issue?*

Yes

You must have a specific diagnosis and final treatment plan in place to apply for the RedRover Relief Urgent Care program. Once diagnostic work is complete and there is a final treatment plan in place, please come back to our website to reexamine the RedRover Relief Urgent Care guidelines to determine whether your situation is eligible for funding. If it is, you are welcome to apply.

Does the animal still need diagnostic work (x-rays, blood work, MRI, etc.)?*

Yes

Unfortunately, the RedRover Relief Urgent Care program is unable to assist with the cost of diagnostic work such as office visits, x-rays, blood work, MRI or any other testing. Once all diagnostic work is complete and there is a final treatment plan in place, please come back to our website and reexamine the RedRover Relief Urgent Care guidelines to determine whether your situation is eligible for funding. If it is, you are welcome to apply.

Does the animal have an immediately life-threatening injury or illness that requires urgent care within the next 10 days?*

Yes

RedRover Relief Urgent Care grants are intended to be used for urgent situations that require immediate treatment, and cannot be used for basic care needs (such as routine dental cleanings or spay/neuter costs). Due to limited funding, we are also unable to help with costs of ongoing treatments or conditions (such as Addison's disease, diabetes, Cushing's syndrome, chemotherapy, or radiation).

According to your veterinarian, is there a good prognosis and can treatment be completed in one visit or hospital stay?*

Yes

Due to limited funding, RedRover Relief Urgent Care program is unable to help with the cost of care for animals with a poor prognosis, or with costs of ongoing treatments or (such as Addison's disease, diabetes, Cushing's syndrome, chemotherapy, or radiation).

Has the applicant applied for Care Credit?*

Yes

Before RedRover Relief Urgent Care grants can be considered as an option, pet owners must first apply for Care Credit.

Is the applicant’s total household income $50,000 or less?*

Yes

If the applicant's yearly household income exceeds $50,000, unfortunately, they do not qualify for a RedRover Relief grant. Please be sure to visit www.RedRover.org/help to view our list of other financial assistance programs that may be able to help.
