Urgent Care Pre-Application

Yes
No

No, the animal has not recently been seen by a veterinarian. You must have a specific diagnosis and final treatment plan in place to apply for the RedRover Relief Urgent Care program.

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

Yes
No

No, the animal does not have an immediately life-threatening injury or illness. RedRover Relief 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
No

No, the prognosis is poor and/or the animal will need ongoing care. Due to limited funding, RedRover Relief 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).
