Feeding Pets of the Homeless®
General Policy & Procedure for Emergency Veterinary Care

Feeding Pets of the Homeless relies on our volunteers, social workers, police and first
responders to screen and work with people experiencing homelessness who have pets. As
a non-profit our funding is limited. We make every effort to assist every pet as they are
presented to us.

How it works:
1. The person experiencing homelessness calls 775-841-7463
2. An intake interview with a Feeding Pets of the Homeless Case Manager must be
completed.
3. If approved, we’ll provide you with the information to make an appointment with a
local hospital or clinic
4. You pay what you can at the appointment, we pay the rest.

Case Managers are available to take new cases on weekdays 9 am – 3 pm PST,
excluding holidays.

We do not have after‐hours or weekend case management services. Services may be
declined due to eligibility criteria, no shows, type of procedures needed, or funding
limitations. Feeding Pets of the Homeless reserves the right to refuse service to
anyone.

The person experiencing homelessness must first call and be approved for an
examination/treatment with a Feeding Pets of the Homeless Case Manager.
Feeding Pets of the Homeless’ Case Managers will determine eligibility based on
internal guidelines. To be eligible for assistance, applicants must have their
homelessness verified.
The Feeding Pets of the Homeless Case Manager contacts the veterinary
hospital/clinic to pre‐authorize the initial exam and rechecks.
At the time of the visit, the veterinary hospital/clinic is required to call, email or
fax us an estimate for treatment. A Feeding Pets of the Homeless Case Manager
reviews the treatment plan. Once approved, an authorization code is provided to
the hospital. All exams and treatment must be pre‐approved.
All of our client’s pets are treated on a case-by-case basis.
Feeding Pets of the Homeless is not responsible for any veterinary bill without prior approval secured by staff.
