How You Can Support Northern Brevard’s Low-Income Seniors & Veterans Through Pet Sponsorship

Making a Difference One Pet at a Time

At Furriendly Critter Sitters LLC, we are on a mission to ensure that low-income seniors and disabled veterans in Northern Brevard County never have to give up their beloved pets due to financial or physical limitations.

Through our pet sponsorship and donation program, Critter Sitters Companions INC community members have the opportunity to support a pet parent in need by funding essential pet care services like dog walking, veterinary bills, and daily pet assistance.

If you love animals and want to give back in a meaningful way, here’s how you can help.

Why Pet Sponsorship is So Important

Many seniors and disabled veterans rely on their pets for companionship, emotional support, and improved mental health. However, caring for a pet can be physically and financially overwhelming.

The Challenges These Pet Owners Face:

✅ Limited Mobility: Many seniors and veterans struggle with physical challenges that prevent them from walking their dogs or maintaining their pets’ hygiene.

✅ Financial Hardships: Fixed incomes and rising costs of veterinary care make it difficult to afford essential services like vaccines, medications, and emergency vet visits. 

✅ Social Isolation: Pets provide an essential emotional bond, but without proper care, seniors may be forced to surrender their furry companions.

By sponsoring a pet parent in need, you’re helping them keep their pets at home, where they belong.

How Furriendly Critter Sitters Uses Your Donations

Every dollar donated to Furriendly Critter Sitters goes directly toward providing life-changing pet care assistance for seniors and disabled veterans. Here’s how your contributions are used:

1. Supporting Daily Pet Care Needs

Many seniors and disabled individuals can no longer keep up with everyday pet responsibilities.

Your donation helps fund:

✔️ Dog walking services for seniors who can’t take their pets outside

✔️ Litter box cleaning and hygiene care for pet owners with mobility challenges

✔️ Pet food and supply assistance to ensure pets are well-fed and comfortable

2. Covering Veterinary Expenses

Veterinary care is one of the biggest financial burdens for pet owners, especially those on fixed incomes.

Your sponsorship can cover:

✔️ Wellness exams & vaccinations to keep pets healthy

✔️ Heartworm, flea, and tick prevention to protect pets year-round

✔️ Emergency vet visits & prescription medications for pets in need of urgent care

3. Ensuring Every Pet Stays With Their Owner

Without assistance, many seniors and disabled veterans are forced to surrender their pets due to financial or physical limitations. Your donation helps them avoid this heartbreaking decision.

Real Stories: How Sponsorship is Changing Lives

Meet Nancy & Her Rescue Dog, Toby

Nancy, a 76-year-old retired nurse, struggled to afford Toby’s arthritis medication on her limited Social Security income. Thanks to a generous pet sponsor, Toby receives his prescription each month, keeping him comfortable and mobile.

Meet Roger & His Senior Cat, Daisy

Roger, a disabled veteran, couldn’t clean Daisy’s litter box due to a back injury. With support from Furriendly Critter Sitters LLC and Critter Sitters Companions INC, he receives weekly in-home pet care assistance, allowing him to keep Daisy happy and healthy.

These stories wouldn’t be possible without generous donors like you.

Your Support Keeps Pets & Their Owners Together

The bond between pets and their owners is unbreakable, and no one should have to lose their pet due to circumstances beyond their control.

By sponsoring a pet parent in need, you are giving both the pet and their owner the gift of security, companionship, and unconditional love.
