Terms and Conditions
1. All pets that receive grants from Compassion Animal Project (CAP) must be spayed or neutered. If a pet is not already spayed or neutered, it will typically be performed at the time of the desired surgical procedure. If it cannot be performed at the time of treatment, the owner must agree to have their pet spayed or neutered within a reasonable timeframe based on their pet’s health. This will be performed at the owner’s expense and is not covered by the grant from CAP.
2. Funds are paid directly to the treating veterinary hospital or clinic.
3. Veterinarians who provide services must provide at least a 25% discount for CAP cases.
4. All orthopedic surgeries must be performed by a board-certified surgeon.
5. Recipients of CAP grants agree to allow CAP to use their story, photo, likeness, and video in perpetuity to promote CAP’s mission.
6. Recipients are asked to do whatever possible to help CAP save other family’s pets. This includes but is not limited to signing up for a monthly donation, volunteering, and/or participating in special events. Recipients agree to allow CAP to send them communications that include but are
not limited to general information, upcoming events, and fundraising campaigns. Recipients may withdraw their consent at any time through
the unsubscribe link.
7. CAP strongly encourages all grantees to consider pet insurance.
Please note any approved credit from outside sources will need to be utilized towards any tests for diagnosing and/or treating your pet prior to applying for grants from CAP. CAP cannot always provide the funding to cover the entire cost for all necessary procedures, and strongly recommends reaching out to other organizations, family, and friends to secure additional donations for your pet as well.
