At CAWF we recognize that, more and more, our pets have become members of our families and for many people their companion animal is their only companion. Every day pet owners make the excruciating decision to euthanize their pets, or to have them live with chronic pain and injury, due entirely to their inability to access the funds required for the animal’s care. This preventable loss and suffering can be devastating to individuals and families alike. It is the mission of the CAWF to lessen or eliminate the financial burden of emergency and specialty veterinary care in order to help both vet owners and veterinary practitioners in caring for these beloved animals.

By providing financial assistance to cover the costs of caring for sick and injured animals of financially disadvantaged pet owners the CAWF attempts to ensure that each and every animal in these circumstances receives the care they need.

CAWF was founded in 2006 by members of the veterinary community, along with a number of concerned pet owners. A professionally recognized association, the Foundation is administered by a volunteer Board of Directors

That is where - together - we can make a difference.
