OUR MISSION

1- ... that no pet owner be forced to choose inadequate treatment or euthanasia for their animal because of inability to pay for emergency medical care.
2- ... that people who receive financial help for a veterinary emergency be given the opportunity to return their gift by becoming mentors, by volunteering for VEFM, or by supporting the VEFM fund financially.
3- ... that it is the responsibility of both the local pet-owning and veterinary communities to make emergency care available--that this is not a national responsibility but a grass-roots responsibility.
4-... that the vision of VEFM will extend to communities all across the United States, possibly even the world.

We Now Have an Official EIN Number

Now that VEFM has an official EIN number (Employer Identification Number), we can accept donations, because one needs an EIN number to open a company bank account. Our official name is Veterinary Emergency Funding Mission, LTD. Until the official paperwork for becoming a 501(C)3 corporation has been filed, donations are not yet tax deductible. We are anticipating that this will be the case for all donations for the 2008 tax year. However, we do anticipate that all the documents will be complete by the 2009 tax year. Donations should be sent to:
VEFM, 280B Rt. 130, Suite 2, #111, Forestdale, MA 02644
