Even with routine vet and medical care, pets can get hurt or sick and need urgent medical care. But unexpected visits to veterinarian or emergency vet clinics can be costly. Texas Critter Crusaders (TCC), in an effort to keep fur-families together and owned pets out of the shelter, provides financial assistance to owned pets and their families when funds are available.
TCC provides financial assistance for the following:
- Urgent medical care
- Spay/Neuter
- Pet deposits
TCC does NOT provide financial assistance for:
- Annual vaccinations, prevention medication (flea, tick, heartworm) or supplements
- Boarding or training
- Grooming (unless directly related to skin disorders like mange, dermatisis, etc.)
- Food (If you need food assistance, the City of Taylor Animal Shelter has a Pet Food Pantry that is free to any Taylor resident).
If you would like to request financial assistance from TCC, please click here to fill out the Texas Critter Crusaders online Financial Assistance Request form.
TCC does not provide funding directly to the pet owner but rather through veterinary vouchers or direct payment, or for pet deposits, directly to the rent agent.
*Please note that Texas Critter Crusaders limits our financial assistance to Taylor-area citizens. Williamson County residents (outside of City of Taylor limits) who require financial assistance should contact Fans of Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter via their online Financial Assistance Request Form.
