Our Community Cares Campaign

It’s C.A.R.E.4Paws’ birthday month, and we’re celebrating by giving back. On May 6, we launched our first Community Cares Campaign, a month-long effort to ensure Central Coast pets have access to the care they need, no matter their family’s financial situation.

Thanks to our May 3 Happy Tails fundraiser, where guests created a remarkable $60,000 match during the paddle raise, every gift made in May—up to $60,000—will be matched to double your impact.

Every day, we meet pet families who love their animals deeply but are forced to delay or forgo care because of cost. That’s why access to care matters.

For Esmir, that support meant everything. Without the veterinary care provided by C.A.R.E.4Paws, her dog Rocky would not have survived a life-threatening illness.

“Rocky is my baby and I don’t know what I would do without him,” says Esmir. “C.A.R.E.4Paws provided the medicine and helped me with food. They are always here for us and treat us like family. Rocky would not be here today if it wasn’t for them.”

Your support helps provide preventative care, urgent and emergency veterinary services, and essential resources like pet food and supplies. A portion of funds will also support our Albus Pet Lifeline Fund, offering critical financial assistance for pets in need of lifesaving care.

Whether you give $5 or $500, you are helping keep pets healthy, out of shelters and with the people who love them.

Every gift is matched up to $60,000 through May.
