How to Save Money at NAWS a No-Kill Humane Society

Schedule Regular Vet Visits

One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.

Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions

Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.

Pet Insurance

Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Getting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask

Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:

Tell me about your experience with [pet type].

Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.

How do you handle emergencies?

You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.

How do you communicate with pet owners?

Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.

Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?

Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.

Do you have any questions for me about my pet?

This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.

Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?

Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

NAWS is truly one of the best shelters. We adopted three kittens from them and were so happy with the entire process. NAWS doesn’t just accept cats that are considered easily adoptable, they truly care about all animals and want to save as many as possible. They are also there to help match you with the right pet and to support you with any questions or issues you have. We were so impressed by them that we decided to foster for NAWS as well. Choosing NAWS has been one of the best things we could have done. I definitely recommend to everyone!!!

NAWS does so much for their animals and the community in general. I can not say enough positive things about this amazing organization. My son has gained so many life skills being able to volunteer here. We have fostered cats through NAWS and the process and support were superb. We have also adopted our cat, Luca, through NAWS. It was such an easy and supportive process. If you are considering adopting a cat or dog, NAWS is the place to go. Their staff and the volunteers who make this incredible shelter stay open in order to keep animals alive are miracle workers. They will help you through the entire process in order to match the best animal with you and your family.

We have always had a fantastic experience with NAWS. After a not great experience at a nearby shelter we turned to NAWS to get a buddy for our cat at home. They have been wonderful since! The on-site vet services are wonderful. My kiddos did a give back birthday this year, asking for donations for the animals so they could do their part to help out. We love having NAWS in our community.

We love NAWS! My boyfriend and I adopted Chorizo from one of their weekend adoption events about 4 months ago. We really liked that they had private rooms available for us to interact with him separate from other people and cats. This was not the case at another adoption center we had tried. Once we decided to adopt him, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the process was quick but informative. They really walked you through any relevant information, medical history, and encouraged contacting them if we needed any help. The best part about this process is that they offer a cat behavioral specialist to help the cat settle into the home and answer any questions. We have another cat at home, who was not excited to have a roommate at first. Ginny communicated regularly to walk us through everything and encouraged us every step of the way. I'm very happy to say that now after 4 months, the cats accept each other as roommates and no longer require separation or supervision. I definitely recommend working with them. They really want to help their pets be happy in their new homes, and will take the pet back in the worst case scenario so that no one is left in a bad situation. Although unlike other adoption centers, much support is provided before reaching that point. Thank you NAWS!

We worked with Lina and Veronica from NAWS to facilitate our adoption of “Sleepy” on 10/1/2023. They were responsive to our questions, the adoption application was simple and it’s clear they care about the animals they rescue and care for. I would recommend NAWS to any family looking to adopt a new member of their family. Sleepy, now “Kima” is enjoying her new home and we are so grateful she was given a chance through NAWS.
