New process expands 24/7 access, reduces wait times, and improves care coordination
CARSON CITY, NV, UNITED STATES, January 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Feeding Pets of the Homeless has launched a new online application system for its Emergency Veterinary Care program, improving access and streamlining the process for pet owners experiencing homelessness who need urgent medical care for their animals across the United States.
The new system allows individuals and advocates to submit Emergency Veterinary Care requests online at any time, replacing the organization’s previous phone-based intake process. Applications are reviewed in the order they are received, helping ensure a fair and consistent review process.
“This transition allows us to respond more efficiently while reducing barriers for people seeking help during stressful situations,” said Genevieve Frederick, founder and president of Feeding Pets of the Homeless. “By collecting key information upfront, our Case Managers can focus on care coordination and prioritize pets with urgent needs.”
While applications can be submitted 24 hours a day, reviews and care coordination take place Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST. If approved, Feeding Pets of the Homeless coordinates care with a participating veterinary hospital, with payments made directly to the provider.
The online system was designed to reduce wait times, limit back-and-forth communication, and improve efficiency for both clients and veterinary partners. Eligibility criteria, program guidelines, and next steps are clearly outlined at the start of the application.
Individuals seeking Emergency Veterinary Care assistance can begin the application process at petsofthehomeless.org/emergency-veterinary-care. For questions about the program or application process, contact Feeding Pets of the Homeless at 775-841-7463 or info@petsofthehomeless.org.
