Non Patron Assistance
AnimalCity is dedicated to helping pets whose people have passed away or have become incapacitated. We do this by helping our patrons make a detailed and unique plan for each pet. And then we take action on that plan if an emergency occurs.
​
But what happens when you don't have a plan and you need assistance? Even though we have limited resources to help non patrons, we do want to help!
​
The first things you'll need before contacting us (or any rescue) are the medical records for each pet. This will help us understand a little bit about the pet and the expenses and effort that will be needed to re-home the pet. Here is a list of additional questions we'll ask:
​
-
Where are the pets currently?
-
How long can they stay where they are?
-
Are they up to date on their vaccinations?
-
Are you the legal guardian of the pets?
-
What friends or family are in the area?
-
Have you contacted any rescues about the pet?
-
Are you able to financially sponsor (food, supplies, medical costs) the pet until adoption?
​
As we have limited resources, we encourage you to contact a dedicated rescue to help with re-homing your pet. CMPD Animal Care & Control has a wonderful page for their animal rescue partners where you can find general and breed specific rescues that help re-home pets. Click here for that page.
​
If you have been unable to find an available rescue, please review the options below for the ways we can help.
