Due to limited funding, not all qualifying applicants will be awarded assistance. The program offers a max amount of up to $1500.00, which will be given one time for the lifetime of your pet. All care must be approved by CDHS in advance. We cannot approve care on the spot once you are already at a clinic.
Applications For Assistance Will Be Considered If:
Cambridge residents only!
Your pet needs emergency veterinary care
Your pet has already been seen by a licensed veterinarian
The veterinarian has determined your pet has a good prognosis with treatment
The veterinarian has determined your pet is in need of immediate euthanasia
You can provide us reason for financial need
Compassion Program Funds are available for allocation
The treatment plan has not yet been paid as we do not reimburse for any payments already made.
Submitting an application does not guarantee approval.

The Cambridge & District Humane Society (CDHS) provides financial assistance funds to family owned pets in need of lifesaving emergency veterinary care, or end of life care whose caregivers cannot afford the full cost of treatment. This program is for Cambridge residents ONLY. Our programs are designed to help with the treatment of emergency medical conditions where the pet would otherwise suffer, without proper veterinary care.
