VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF NYC RAISES FUNDS FOR
NEWLY ADOPTED PETS

Over $60,000 Will Provide Some Needed Health Care

For the first time ever the Veterinary Medical Association of NYC did more than honor some outstanding members during the course of its annual awards dinner dance, Paws and Applause. A raffle, silent auction and special journal advertising raised funds which will provide some necessary veterinary care for newly adopted pets from the city’s shelter system, Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C) whose new owners/families are not able to pay the costs involved.

As part of the silent auction, AC&C cardboard pet carriers were decorated and autographed by celebrities such as former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani , Peter Max, and Donald Trump. Jon Stewart (host of The Daily Show and the 2006 Academy Awards Show) also lent his talents, not only to design and decorate a pet carrier, but to perform at the event which was attended by some 280 veterinarians, their clients and event sponsors.

Monies raised will be administered by NY Save Animals in Veterinary Emergency, Inc., a nonprofit charitable organization, the VMA of NYC helped found in 1998. Veterinarians participate in this program from all five boroughs of New York City and discount their fees by 50% or more in order to treat these companion animals.

There is an ever increasing demand for NY SAVE’s dollars now that a program has been instituted to end the killing of shelter pets in New York City. The Mayor’s Alliance of NYC is working with the City of New York toward the day when no New York City dog or cat of reasonable health and temperament is killed merely because it does not have a home.

It may be some time before the final dollar is turned over to NY SAVE for this special project, but a minimum of $50,000 is anticipated and over $10,000 in contributions has already been received from individual New Yorkers who support NY SAVE’s efforts but were unable to attend the event.
