happens to cats and dogs whose owners are unable to afford
veterinary care? We did. The ASPCA's Community Medicine (CM) team
provides expert veterinary care to support the welfare of animals
and their people through our stationary and mobile veterinary
clinics, serving the most underserved communities in New York,
Miami, and Los Angeles. We help pet owners overcome barriers to
care, bringing quality services directly to the communities that
need us most and partially or fully subsidizing the cost of basic
