Veteran & Special Needs Family Cat Companion Program

Our program is intended for veterans, military families, and families raising children with special needs. Opportunities are limited and offered when available.

Complete our Hearts & Heroes application. All applicants go through our normal screening process, and appropriate proof of eligibility will be required before approval.

After you submit your application, our team will review your information and contact you if we need additional details or documentation. If your application moves forward, we will discuss available placement opportunities, the reduced placement fee, and the next steps for finding a suitable match. All normal veterinary care, health guarantees, and placement requirements remain in place.
