Meet Our Co-Founder and CEO
The National Pet Care Fund was co-founded by Carla Fehr, whose vision to help low-income Canadians care for their pets was drawn from her own experiences as a single parent. Earlier in her life, Carla struggled financially to provide for her family and cover the costs of urgent medical care needed for her beloved rescue dog Finn. Learn more about her story and her commitment to companion animals and her mission to offer the NPCF program throughout Canada.

No Pet Should Go Without Urgent Medical Care
Become an NPCF Pet Parent and Receive a Grant
By becoming an NPCF Pet Parent you could receive a grant to help cover the cost of non-elective medical care for your companion animal.
The NPCF uses the Statistics Canada Low-Income Cut-off tables (LICOs) to determine if a pet owner qualifies for assistance. The LICOs are income thresholds below which a person or family will likely devote a larger share of income on the necessities of food, shelter and clothing than the average family.
Applying is easy – just create an NPCF Account first and then proceed to complete the application form to become an NPCF Pet Parent, including your current Revenue Canada Notice of Assessment with your application. Once approved, an additional form will need to be completed that provides details on your pet’s non-elective medical need. Grants will be approved on a first come first serve basis, and will be subject to available funding.
Even if your pet is not in need of medical assistance today, by pre-applying to become an NPCF pet parent you will save time when you need financial aid in the future.
