Apply for Assistance

BannerBoGriffin

If your cat or dog has cancer and you can’t afford treatment, you are not alone. A great many people are in this same situation. Magic Bullet Fund gets many applications and we have to make very hard decisions. We would like to help all of the families who apply, but we cannot.

Assistance is for cancer treatment including surgery or chemotherapy only. The fund operates only in the U.S. The fund does not raise donations for experimental treatment or clinical trials. The fund does not provide assistance for other conditions, for treatment that has already been done, for cancer treatment after the first course of treatment has failed, for palliative care, or for euthanasia.

We process applications as quickly as possible. Generally, there is a 1-week to 2-week waiting time after we have received your application and all financial information. The waiting time depends on our ability to collect information from your clinic.

Magic Bullet Fund does NOT offer assistance for the following:

  • Hemangiosarcoma, unless it is cutaneous hemangiosarcoma
  • Chemo for osteosarcoma in a limb. We do accept applications for amputation surgery, but not for chemotherapy
  • ONCEPT for melanoma. We do accept applications for surgery, not for the DNA vaccine treatments.
  • Relapsed lymphoma: If the pet was in remission but has come out of remission
  • Radiation therapy: We raise funds for surgery or chemotherapy only
  • Mammary cancer: If a female pet is 4 years or older, and she has not been spayed, we cannot help

ALL of the following must be true:

  1. YOU are the pet’s primary caretaker and owner and the person who pays for the pet’s medical care. We do not accept applications from shelters or rescues or fosters.
  2. A veterinarian has diagnosed your pet with cancer (we DO accept applications when a mass must be removed whether it is cancerous or not, or when it cannot be diagnosed without surgery)
  3. Your pet has been seen by the vet who will provide cancer treatment
  4. You gave that vet permission to speak to Magic Bullet Fund about your pet

Age/weight limits for dogs:

  • Dogs up to 40 pounds must be 14 or younger
  • Dogs 40 to 80 pounds must be 12 or younger
  • Dogs 80 to 100 pounds must be 10 or younger
  • Dogs over 100 pounds must be 9 or younger

Age limit for cats:

  • Cats must be 15 or younger

Have the following documents ready to send us
BEFORE you click “Apply.”

  1. 1040 (most recently filed tax return), and/or Disability letter; SSI letter (Cross out or hide your social security number!)
  2. Last month’s bank statement (all bank accounts in your name)
  3. Foreclosure letter, bankruptcy letter, etc.
  4. CALL CLINIC that will provide your pet’s cancer treatment. Give them permission to speak freely to Magic Bullet Fund about your pet’s cancer, treatments and fees.
