As a loving tribute to a beautiful, young feline lost as a result of the reckless conduct of a veterinarian, Nebula’s Foundation was formed.
Nebula’s family came to Joey’s Legacy seeking assistance in the pursuit of justice for Nebula. Our veterinary team was able to conduct a full review of medical records and compose an opinion letter that was part of legal action taken by the family.

The family decided to make a significant monetary contribution to Nebula’s Foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to provide financial assistance for the human victims of substandard veterinary care so that they may pursue justice. Victims may apply online at the link below and must meet certain financial criteria in order to qualify for a grant up to $400.00 from Nebula’s Foundation.
