Emergency Medical Aid Program (EMAP)

The Emergency Medical Aid Program provides funding to individuals, animal rescuers, non-profit organizations and pet owners to help them care for animals in medically life-threatening situations.

When an unexpected disaster affects a family, EMAP can provide financial assistance to help an animals' immediate needs. Disasters may include:

• Large-scale disaster, such as a flood, wildfire or hurricane
• House fire
• Abuse

EMAP may provide funding Veterinary care to treat injury or illness caused by the disaster.

Financial aid usually range between $100 and $600. Funding decisions are based upon several factors, including: urgency, financial need, available funding and  eligibility.
