Help for Finn

My kitty Finn had a very stressful few days following a diagnosis of feline cystitis with emergency vet treatment plan looking at an upwards of $6,000. My family simply did not have the funds short or long term so we were stuck in a predicament and needed to move fast as Finn's condition could turn fatal in just days. With little options left, a relative introduced me to OPIN. Not only were they more compassionate and efficient than anyone we had spoken to on the matter, but they contacted me within a few hours, despite the late night. To feel relief and hope in those high stress moments meant the world and brought me to tears. They set me up with Rippowam Animal Hospital in Stamford who took amazing care of my fur baby! They did a wonderful job with much more reasonable prices and with OPIN's grant covering some of the cost made it manageable for us. They were our angels and we could not be more grateful

Thank you OPIN and the team at Rippowam Animal Hospital

Jen,

I can not thank you, OPIN, and the team at Rippowam Animal Hospital enough!  Finley was so well taken care of, and the lower cost for the procedures has allowed us to keep funds in an emergency account for him.  Your organization, and you are amazing!

Charlie Critically Needed Vet Services, OPIN Steps In

Dear Jenny:

I cannot express the depth of my gratitude to Opin for saving the life of my beloved (and wonderful!) five-year-old cat, Charlie (birthday in 4 days - on January 24!), by kindly offering me a no-interest loan to pay for Charlie's critically needed veterinary services.
We had been to two other places prior to our arriving at Rippowam Animal Hospital with whom you work, and who heroically rescued Charlie from demise. At these prior facilities, I had incurred some $5,000 in costs, but with Charlie's life threatening medical issue remaining unresolved. The second of these organizations   finally told me that Charlie needed surgery -- but demanded payment in full, up-front, of an shockingly exorbitant amount of money, that I no longer had.  Without your generous contribution, and Dr Lazarus' (of Rippowam AH) quick action, sincere and constant caring, and brilliant double surgeries -- Charlie would not be alive today. Opin has put the heart and soul back into Veterinary Care so that loving pet owners can pay off veterinary bills over time (like in the old days) to save their pet's lives. Opin are compassion in feeling and action, and you have a great partner in Chief Surgeon Dr. Lazarus and his Rippowam Animal Hospital - where the most reasonable fees cover the most superlative and dedicated care. Opin and Dr. Lazarus approach veterinary medicine and treatment the humane way -- and with outstanding excellence.

God bless you!

With deepest gratitude,

Claire S.

OPIN to the Rescue! - 07/08/2015

OPIN to the rescue! My American Bulldog, Khaleesi, needed emergency life saving surgery. With the resources and network OPIN has at their disposal they helped turn a traumatic and overwhelming situation into something manageable and life saving for my puppy.

I'm forever grateful to this great organization and all the hard work they put in to help save and protect our cherished furry little family members.

Thank you OPIN!!

Regards,

Ehson

I can't express my gratitude enough - 07/07/2015

I can't express my gratitude enough for the help I received from Ali at Outreach to Pets in Need. My Greyhound had to have some teeth pulled and I knew it would run into an expense. Working 3 jobs as a single parent of two I knew it would be a struggle. I had rescued my Greyhound 6 years ago and Opin came to my rescue!

Thank you for your help!

Jill

Thank you - 06/30/2015

I wanted to take the time to thank you for all your assistance in our dogs time of need. When our Snoopy got sick and we didn't have the funds, we didn't know what we were going to do. I was online researching options and OPIN came up. I sent a frantic email in the middle of the night. My email was answered the next day and OPIN provided much needed assistance. You were our safety net when we didn't have one. We are forever grateful. I hope you know what a valuable service you provide to the community and our pets. 

Thank you, 

Katherine
