IMOM is helping people help pets. Their mission is to better the lives of sick, injured and abused companion animals and are dedicated to insure that no pet has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged. Veterinary medicine has advanced greatly over the years, but if one doesn’t have the funds so their pet can be treated, what good are these advancements? IMOM works to remove the money barrier so that all companion animals have the best chance they can get. Each and every animal deserves that.

American Bird Conservancy’s (ABC) mission is to conserve wild birds and their habitats throughout the Americas. It is the only U.S.-based group dedicated solely to overcoming the greatest threats facing birds in the Western Hemisphere. A growing human population, consuming ever greater resources, is critically impacting bird populations through habitat destruction, direct mortality from such harmful practices as the unwise use of pesticides, and the introduction of destructive species including domestic cats. ABC believes adequate resources exist to overcome these threats, and that unifying people, organizations, and agencies around common approaches to priority issues is the key to success.
