In memory of Chibi 🐾

No family should lose a pet over a bill they can't pay.

Chibi's Friends helps families cover emergency veterinary care — paid directly to the clinic, when every hour counts.

Why we exist

Chibi was a Pekingese with an outsized personality and a talent for making friends. When emergency care costs put families in impossible positions, we saw how often love isn't the problem — money is.

Chibi's Friends steps in with fast, no-shame grants for urgent treatment: blockages, injuries, emergency surgery, and everything that happens at 2 a.m.
