Flash's Fund
LOOK WHAT'S NEW! Included here is a letter by our new friends, the Halls. Their situation has inspired our new fund - "Flash's Fund" as you'll see below.

Dear Leanne and CC Volunteers:
Our cat, "Flash" came home early Saturday morning with an extremely damaged right rear leg. We called a local vet and were told we needed to pay $40 just for him to be seen. At the appointment, they did what they could, but they weren't able to go any further [w/treatment] without doing x-rays and those would be around $184.00. We just didn't have it and their policy of not accepting payments put us in a tough spot. We left just not knowing what to do.
We were telling friends and family of our situation and were given the name of Covenant Creatures; an organization that helps anyone [in financial need] with any pet, anyway they can. So we called and were told to bring Flash down to their Thursday night "Companion Care Center" where he would be assessed by a veterinarian at no cost. As it turned out, Flash's injuries were so severe that he had to have his right leg & hip removed. The news was devastating; our first concerns were for Flash, who is family to us. The second was cost...obviously such an extensive surgery would be beyond what we could do at this time, but as Leanne from Covenant Creatures was explaining to my wife and I about what needed to be done, she assured us that the total bill would be absorbed by them. It seemed that everyone's first concerns at Covenant Creatures were for our pet too.

Chuck, Dawn & "Flash" Hall

P.S. -- One week after the initial injury which was sustained in a fight w/a racoon, "Flash" had his hip & leg amputated at a local vet clinic. This one year old healthy boy is now recovering quickly and adjusting to a life on 3 legs! The cost for this emergency service ran about $600. As with most of us, we don't necessarily have a wad of currency in our pocket, even when it's seriously needed. Therefore, we have two requests: First - if you are a pet owner, please consider purchasing pet insurance [most vet offices provide information] as the rising costs of emergency services such as this can shock & deter most pet owners and then secondly, please consider donating to - "Flash's Fund". These monies will specifically be targeted for emergency surgeries & procedures including hospitalizations of pet's who have a high potential of recovery & long life.
