It’s hard to believe it’s already the end of January! As we settle into the new year, there is some truly fantastic news to share regarding the Albus Fund gift match challenge. With amazing community support, we exceeded our goal of $50,000, raising $81,815 to help dogs and cats in need of urgent, lifesaving care. WOW and thank you!

An extra special thanks goes to Andrew and Kendra Feshbach for inspiring the Albus Fund and for making this annual donation match possible.

Making an impact in the face of rising costs

As vet costs keep increasing, your generosity and compassion make a big impact for those who otherwise have nowhere to turn. Like Bear’s family. Cute puppy Bear accidentally swallowed a fishhook and was in very critical condition.

Thanks to emergency funding from our Albus Fund and the skills of Dr. O’Hara at Beach Cities Veterinary, Bear was able to receive the urgent surgery needed to save his life. Bear’s people are incredibly thankful for the assistance, as is everyone on the C.A.R.E.4Paws team. For us, having this funding means we can prevent suffering and continue to say yes to helping beloved pets like Bear.

“The cost of urgent veterinary services is out of reach for a growing number of pet families,” says Gullö.   “The Albus Fund match is an incredible opportunity to be there for pets when their people have nowhere else to turn, helping to ensure that animals get the treatment they deserve and families receive the support they desperately need.”
