FINANCIAL RESOURCES
The Phoenix Fund at ARMV
The Phoenix Fund was established to assist with medical expenses for homeless, feral, and abandoned cats. The fund is administered by a committee of ARMV volunteers. Because the funds are limited, its focus is on Haverhill, Lawrence, Methuen, Merrimac, Groveland, Andover, North Andover and Plaistow, NH. However, the committee will consider requests outside this area if they can.
In order for a request to be considered, please send a short history of the cat, description of the illness/injury, diagnosis, prognosis, the future of the cat (where will it go after it receives medical treatment, can it be released back to the colony? etc.), and a copy of the medical bill(s). This information should be sent to: phoenixfund@ARMV.org

Ice - The Story
Ice was pulled off a Lawrence snow bank barely conscious. He was so emaciated and dehydrated, his eyes were shrunken into their sockets.
It's taken almost a month but he is completely well and a very happy and playful cat!
