The need for these services is growing. According to the 2024 HUD Annual Homeless Assessment Report, more than 770,000 people were experiencing homelessness on a single night in January—an 18 percent increase from the previous year. Many of these individuals rely on pets for companionship and emotional support, underscoring the importance of ensuring these beloved animals receive the care they need.
In 2024, Feeding Pets of the Homeless has:
• Helped over 2,060 pets receive life-saving care, with expenses exceeding $1.1 million.
• Supported 105 veterans and 85 seniors over 65, ensuring their pets remain healthy.
• Provided assistance in 393 cities across the United States.
“We are deeply grateful for the Doris Day Animal Foundation’s support, especially during a time of heightened need,” said Genevieve Frederick, founder and president of Feeding Pets of the Homeless. “This grant will help us continue our mission of preserving the bond between people experiencing homelessness and their pets, which is often their only source of comfort and hope.”
The Doris Day Animal Foundation, based in Los Angeles, Calif., focuses on providing grants that directly benefit animals in need. Their commitment aligns with Feeding Pets of the Homeless’ efforts to offer veterinary care, food, and supplies to pets nationwide.
Sugar Monkey, a 5-year-old Bully, is one of the many pets saved by Feeding Pets of the Homeless this year. Facing life-threatening symptoms, Sugar Monkey’s owner sought help through the organization. Thanks to donor support, she received $1,553 in emergency care for a bacterial infection, saving her life and maintaining her bond with her family.
