Homebound, Elderly, Disabled Program
For many homebound, elderly or disabled individuals a dog or cat is more than a pet. A companion animal is sometimes the only “family” member they have providing friendship, joy, and a reason for living. Our Homebound and Disabled program is designed specifically for the pets of the elderly, disabled and homebound members of our community. Every day Freckles and Tomcat Rescue delivers food to these households.
At times the cost of pet food can be an insurmountable obstacle for individuals living on a fixed income. It can mean the difference between keeping their beloved family member or surrendering them to an unknown future. Many seniors give up their own food to feed their cats and dogs. Supplying pets with adequate daily meals makes it far more likely that everyone in the household is eating their own nutritious food. The Homebound/Elderly/Disabled Program would not be possible without donations from the community.
