🚨 MAY DAY Alert! 🚨We need your help!

During a recent mobile clinic, our ultrasound unit suddenly failed without warning. Without it, we are flying blind and that is not acceptable for the animals who depend on us. As a result, we have had to dip into our limited emergency funds to replace it immediately.

Just days before it failed, that same ultrasound saved a cat’s life. Ms. Kitty came in for what seemed like routine dental care but the scan revealed a serious heart condition. Without it, anesthesia could have been fatal. That’s not a position we ever want to be in again!

Now we need your help to rebuild the emergency funds we used before the next crisis hits.

❤️ Please give what you can: https://givebutter.com/ultrasound-raise-8ixvoa

What “Adequate Food” Actually Means

Everyone thinks they know what “feeding your animal” means.

But under Vermont law, “adequate food” has a specific standard — and it’s not just about putting food in a bowl when it’s convenient.

Animals must be provided nutritious food in sufficient quantity and frequency to maintain normal body condition, health, and growth.

That matters more than people realize.

Because we see it all the time:

Animals being fed inconsistently

Low-quality or inappropriate diets

Animals slowly losing weight — and it being dismissed as “just how they are”

That’s not okay.
And in some cases, it crosses the line into neglect.

But here’s where it gets complicated:

Not every thin animal is a cruelty case.
Age, illness, stress, and other factors can all play a role.

And that’s exactly why understanding the standard matters —
because it’s not about guessing… it’s about recognizing when something isn’t right.

Adequate food isn’t negotiable. It’s critical for an animal's health and survival.

📚 This is why we’re breaking it down — so people can better recognize concerns, ask the right questions, and advocate effectively when it matters.

Because when it comes to neglect,
what gets overlooked… is what animals continue to endure.
