NY SAVE- Save Animals in Veterinary Emergency

NY SAVE was founded in 1998 as the philanthropic arm of the VMA of NYC. There clearly was a need for a charity to help relieve pets of low-income owners.

In 1998 a group of veterinarians recognized the need for pets with medical emergencies to get the care they need regardless of their owners' ability to pay for that care. With an endorsement and a start-up loan from the Veterinary Medical Association of New York City, NY SAVE, Inc., was founded as a publicly supported philanthropic organization to serve the pets of New York City residents living i

n Manhattan, Brooklyn the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. The goal of NY SAVE is for any pet owner residing in one of the five boroughs of New York City who is truly in need of financial assistance to be able to take their pet to any participating veterinary hospital for emergency veterinary care. Pet owners can apply directly to NY SAVE or obtain services through a referral by a veterinarian who is a member of the Veterinary Medical Association of New York City. To qualify, pet owners need to provide identification and some form of documentation indicating that they are currently unemployed, on public assistance, disabled or living at or below the poverty level. There is a $2,000.00 annual limit per household. Pet owners who are able to pay a portion of the veterinary care will be asked to do so on a sliding-scale basis. Veterinarians participating in the program will reduce their fees in order to care for animals accepted for treatment under NY SAVE. The pets treated through NY SAVE will receive the same level of care as any other veterinary patients. After treating the emergency condition, the veterinarian will institute the appropriate therapy for the continued stabilization of your pet.

Meet Givenchy! 💙💛

Recently, Givenchy began straining and experiencing pain while urinating, his family knew something was wrong. He was diagnosed with kidney stones that were causing a dangerous blockage and needed surgery to remove them.

Thankfully, Givenchy received the emergency care he needed, including cystotomy surgery, and is now recovering beautifully. ❤️

Stories like Givenchy’s are possible because of people who believe that families should not have to choose between financial hardship and the health of a beloved pet.

Chaos suffered a serious kidney injury, and her owner was unable to afford the urgent veterinary care she needed. She was hospitalized and treated for Chronic Renal Failure (CRF), a progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and maintain the body's normal balance of fluids and electrolytes. Without timely treatment, CRF can quickly become life threatening and significantly impact a pet's quality of life.❤️‍🩹

Thanks to the support of NY SAVE, Chaos was able to receive the critical medical care she needed, giving her the best possible chance for recovery. She now gets to spend more time with the family who loves her!
