If an animal is in need of immediate care, where any delay will put the animal at risk, it is the owner's responsibility to seek care for the animal immediately. There is no guarantee that the Urgent Care grant program will be able to provide financial assistance. Basic guidelines to apply: You must be seeking assistance for one animal with a life-threatening injury or illness that requires urgent and specific treatment.

There must be a current diagnosis and treatment plan from a veterinarian. RedRover cannot pay for office exams or testing. If we know that the proposed care is available in your area at a much lower cost, we may ask that you reach out to other clinics for an estimate.

If you choose to stay at a more expensive veterinarian when there are lower cost alternatives RedRover may not be able to provide funding assistance. (example: Staying at an ER vet for care that can safely be provided at a general practice vet.) Treatment must have a good or favorable outcome.

Household income cannot exceed $60,000 per year Both the applicant and the animal must live in the United States.
