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.

Ideas for Making Gifts to Sell at the Seaside Festival

As we posted recently, VEFM will have a booth at the Yarmouth Seaside Festival, which runs from October 10-11, 2009, in Yarmouth, MA, on Cape Cod. We are collecting ideas from items to sell as fundraisers. This is one idea--a kit called the Gurumi Family, available from Knit Picks, for $19.99. It includes the pattern and yarn.
