Companion Animal Memorial Fund (by Veterinary Clinics)
The CCAH is grateful to the veterinary clinics listed under "Partnering Clinics" for their donations to the Companion Animal Memorial Fund (CAMF). Participating veterinary clinics and practitioners honor their patients and clients who have recently lost a companion animal friend by sending the names of their client, patient and clinic to the CCAH, along with a donation in their honor.
Each year, more than 300 participating clinics contribute in excess of $250,000 through memorial gifts for clinical health research to improve treatment for diseases affecting their clients' pets. If you'd like to learn how to become a participant, call our Office of Advancement at 530-752-7024. For our veterinary partners: If your clinic is already participating, log in below with your authorization password.
