Chum Cat Memorial Fund

Chumcat Fund

Academy Animal Hospital created the Chumcat Fund in partnership with the Veterinary Care Foundation, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, to expand our efforts to help pets in need. Since the foundation’s operating expenses are funded through Academy Animal Hospital’s membership dues, 100% of every dollar donated to the Chumcat Fund is used to treat sick or injured animals.
