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.

The Urgent Care grant program is temporarily closed to new applications for the remainder of 2022. It will reopen to new applications in mid-January, 2023.

"*" indicates required fields

Has the animal been seen by a veterinarian for this issue in the last 30 days?*

Yes

No

You must have a current diagnosis and treatment plan in place to apply for an Urgent Care grant. Once your animal has been seen by a vet please come back to our website to reexamine the grant guidelines to determine whether your situation is eligible for funding. If it is, you are welcome to apply.

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

Yes

No

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

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

Yes

No

Urgent Care grants are intended to be used for very urgent and emergency situations that require immediate treatment, and cannot be used for basic care (such as spay/neuter, vaccination, or routine dental care).

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

Yes

No

Due to limited funding, RedRover Relief Urgent Care program is unable to help with the cost of care for animals with a poor prognosis. Please visit www.RedRover.org/help for a directory of other financial assistance programs.

Is your total household income under $60,000?*

Yes

No

If the yearly household income exceeds $60,000, unfortunately, you 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.

Due to the large number of applications we receive, we must choose situations that best meet the program goals and guidelines - those where a small Urgent Care grant (typically $200-300) will fill the gap in funding that is keeping an animal from care.

If your gap in funding is large we recommend seeking a second opinion from another veterinarian, as prices can vary significantly from clinic to clinic. You may want to try searching “low cost vet [your city, state]” to find other veterinarians near you. We also encourage you to apply for help from multiple organizations, see if you qualify for Care Credit or Scratchpay, as well as reaching out to friends and family for help.
